3 Things to Do Before Albemarle Moving Arrives

1

Mark items you want to KEEP

Use colored tape, sticky notes, or just move your keepers to one corner. Anything NOT marked gets removed. Tell the crew when they arrive — they'll confirm before loading anything they're unsure about.

2

Set aside hazardous materials

Paint cans, motor oil, chemicals, and pesticides can't go in our truck. Set them aside and we'll advise on disposal. Ivy MUC at 4576 Dick Woods Rd accepts paint and hazardous household waste for free. For everything else, we haul it.

3

Clear a path to the garage door

Albemarle Moving will carry items out no matter what — but if you can create a basic walking path to the door, the job goes faster and you pay less time-wise.
