There are a lot of hazardous items which can be quite dangerous but are not perceived to be harmful. For instance, items like your child’s chemistry set may contain some solutions which shouldn’t be packed along with other items to be placed in the moving truck due to their sensitivity to heat. Similarly, fire extinguishers are used for putting off the fire but these are comprised of elements which can be hazardous.

Batteries are not considered volatile normally but these have the potential to react with the other items placed in the moving truck. So, you should consider other ways to move batteries to the new home.

Most of the people buy cleaning supplies to clean their homes and then never use those items for years. If you haven’t used such items which you had purchased several years ago, now is the good time to get rid of those items before you move to the new home. You can either throw these items away if you are doubtful about their functionality, or you can put them in garage sale.

And then there are a few items which are obviously quite dangerous to be loaded into the moving truck. For instance, you may not want your firearms or firework items to be loaded along with other items into the moving truck. Similarly, the chemicals, which you use to eliminate the pests in your home, are also not safer to be packed and loaded.

The reason for instructing people about not packing and loading these items into the moving truck is not associated with the safety of mover only. Loading such items into the moving truck can bring a liability to you as well.

The prohibited items do not include the hazardous items only. There are some delicate items including artwork, and perishable and frozen foods that you might not like to be loaded into the moving truck. You can either move those foods separately or you can get rid of them if you don’t foresee them being consumed in the future.

For example, think about someone who may declare themselves a Papa John’s enthusiast. Sure, they may have tried everything on the menu at Papa John’s and claim that they’re actually saving time and money by having it ordered to their home everyday (and maybe they actually are saving on both of those), but it does have health implications if they keep it up every single day, and those are almost always negative.

So, while I’m not saying you must have a healthy hobby or interest, it definitely helps to choose things that are better for you so that you’re not only interested in doing it but you can also feel great about what makes you happy.

One of my new hobbies that falls under those parameters is tea. I’ve recently begun to collect a nice variety of teas, and I even try to opt for teas that are healthier than others, such as green teas with their loads of antioxidants.

One thing that’s been long overdue for my collection, though, is a dedicated spot for all my teas and their accessories. After all, what’s a collection if you can’t show it off?

So, I’ve recently begun taking the liberty of putting together a little makeshift display in the corner of one of my counters for all my tea accessories and variants.

It’s been nice having some spare shipping supplies, like packaging tape to keep some of my “decorations” in place or some spare cardboard as props. Already things are looking the part and I can be proud to show off my holiday spiced tea, my different kinds of rooibos, and my matcha set (which is my particular favorite).

All it takes is some ingenuity and a few extra materials, like the aforementioned shipping supplies I just had laying around. And really, it always helps if you have legit interest in your hobby or interest so that you can be proud of it, let the collection grow, and use it all accordingly.

Overall, own what you love! If it makes you happy, that’s all that matters. Heck, I won’t even frown upon you if it is considered unhealthy, because that’s your decision to make as a free-thinking person.
