II Boxing the bathrooms

Yes, it may be the smallest of all the rooms to pack; but it is also the most difficult. Like every other room, the first step is deciding what goes in the moving box and what goes elsewhere. The easiest place to start is the medicine chest. Get a garbage bag for all the expired medicine, over-the-counter remedies, vitamins, and supplements. These trinkets cannot go out with your trash: they are bio-hazardous waste and need be disposed of along with paint thinner, fertilizer, and insecticides. To find the hazardous waste facility, contact your local EPA office at  Don’t think flushing them down the sewer is safe enough: the contents may be untouched by the chemical processing system and result in pollution of drinking water.
Medicine you use on a daily basis or frequently should go in a carton with you for easy access. Also take along anything that is heat or moisture sensitive. Use small moving boxes for bathroom items so they donâ't get lost in with other objects. Consumables should be packed separately from non-consumables and definitely from toiletries. It may not be necessary to individually wrap the plastic jars of vitamins and supplements. However, be certain the lids are secure by taping if necessary, or place in a sealable plastic bag. The same holds true for toiletries. We have taken to bundling three or four such items in bubble wrap. On the odd occasion we have glass containers,moving kits is utilized quite effectively. It should be noted that packing tape is preferred over that of household because of its reliability, strength, and width.
