While self-storage can be a great way to free up space in your home or office, there are certain things that you should avoid storing in a self-storage unit. Here are some items that are generally not allowed or recommended for storage:
Perishable items: Food items, plants, and other perishable items are not allowed in most self-storage units as they can attract pests, rot, and create unpleasant smells.
Hazardous materials: Any items that are flammable, explosive, toxic, or otherwise hazardous, such as gasoline, propane, and chemicals are not allowed in self-storage units. These items can pose a serious safety risk to both yourself and others.
Illegal items: It goes without saying, but illegal items such as drugs, weapons, and stolen property should never be stored in a self-storage unit.
Living creatures: Self-storage units are not suitable for storing living creatures such as pets, livestock, or insects. They need proper care, attention, and a suitable environment to survive.
Valuable items: While self-storage units are generally secure, it's not recommended to store valuable items such as jewelry, cash, or precious artwork in them. If you must store valuable items, make sure you choose a secure and well-maintained storage facility, and purchase insurance to protect your items.
Personal documents: Documents that contain sensitive personal information such as passports, social security cards, and financial records should not be stored in self-storage units, as they can be vulnerable to theft or loss.
Remember to always check with the storage facility for their specific rules and restrictions on what can and cannot be stored in their units.
