You may want to alert your home sellers that their movers won't haul away all of their belongings on moving day. Sellers will need to prepare to remove some items themselves.

"Federal law bans moving companies from transporting hazardous materials," says Lindsey Schaibly, operations coordinator of Two Men and a Truck, a moving company based in Lansing, Mich.
Besides propane tanks, gasoline tanks, and ammunition, Atlas Van Lines provides a list of the following items of belongings they won't move:
- Car batteries
- Charcoal
- Darkroom chemicals
- Batteries
- Nail polish
- Scuba tanks
- Liquid bleach
Movers also won't take household plants. "Some states are really sensitive about plants," says James Sullivan, president of Humboldt Storage & Moving of Canton, Mass. "Officials are afraid of bringing in bugs or other problems into the state."
Perishable food items also can't be moved as well as some outdoor equipment – like lawn and pool equipment. Pool items, like acid or treatment chemicals, will have to be disposed of properly by the owner. Also, weed killer and pesticides will be left behind by movers too. Some movers will take a lawn mower or generator, but sellers will likely want to check beforehand. "We ask customers to remove as much gasoline from engines as possible before we can move the item," Sullivan says.
