BOSTON - Boston city leaders gathered Thursday to share tips ahead of move-in weekend. The city has already granted more than 3,000 parking permits for moving trucks.

About 150,000 college students reside in the city as well, and with move-in weekend falling right on Labor Day, there are some tips to keep in mind to ensure a smooth transition:

1. Don't drive your moving truck on Storrow Drive. 2. Call 3-1-1 to dispose of your mattress. 3. Make sure you have enclosed barrels for trash without any holes to keep rats and rodents away. 4. Don't park in spaces where there is a "no parking" permit sign listed to avoid getting ticketed or towed.
