What You SHOULDN'T Pack for Your Removalist
Most Australian removalists will be able to take most of your household goods to wherever you are going. However, there are some items and substances which catch many people out. Across the board, removalists cannot transport quite a few different things. Today we are looking at what you shouldn't pack for your removalist company!
What are hazardous substances?
Hazardous substances are sometimes called dangerous goods. Either definition usually includes substances that are any of the following:
- Flammable
- Explosive
- Corrosive
- Oxidizing
- Radioactive
- Asphyxiating
- Toxic
- Pathogenic
- Otherwise biohazardous
Why can’t I pack these things?
Most removalist companies will not accept hazardous substances because of the risk to their employees, their property, and other customers' property. It may become hot inside a truck and cause a flammable substance to combust, or an improperly packed or damaged bottle may leak.
Where might I find hazardous substances?
Here are some common hazardous substances that removalists will not transport:
- LPG or other gas
- Fireworks
- Other explosives
- Petroleum
- Drano
- Caustic cleaners
- Acidic cleaners
- Solvents
- Firearms
- Toxins and poisons (such as insecticides or herbicides)
