Relocation, Packing and Moving Guidelines

Following these guidelines will ensure the successful completion of your move. Contact the DMM Warehouse if you have further questions or concerns. Communication is key!

• Begin NOW to review storerooms and remove unnecessary items.
• Vertical File Cabinets DO NOT have to be emptied.
• Lateral File Cabinets must be emptied.
• If you do NOT have file cabinet keys... put masking tape around the lock to prevent accidental locking of the unit.
• If you are returning to a modernized facility from a holding facility your files will be transferred to new file cabinets upon your arrival.
• Office desks must be emptied and contents packed.
• Bookcases must be emptied and contents packed.
• Box all materials and label the SIDE (not top) of each box with staff name.
• Tag all equipment with staff name.
• **Do NOT use box labels on furniture or equipment! They don't peel off!**
• Tape, boxes and box labels are available upon request.
• Copiers must be serviced for a move. BCE will move them. We will coordinate the timing of the move with the vendor.
