What items am I not allowed to store in self-storage?
Thinking about renting a storage unit at STORE ROOM to create more space for your belongings? Good decision! However, before you pack your boxes and move everything into the storage unit, it is important to know which items you are not allowed to store with us. To ensure the safety of our storage units and your goods, there are a few rules you need to follow. In this blog article, you can find out which items do not belong in self-storage.
Valuables
Cash, savings books, jewelry or securities do not belong in the storage room. It is better to keep such valuables in a safe deposit box or another secure place.
Perishable goods
Food that spoils easily, such as fresh fruit, vegetables or dairy products, should never be stored in a self-storage unit. Not only can these products rot in a very short time, they can also cause unpleasant odors and moisture that affect the storage climate.
Living beings
It is also strictly forbidden to store living creatures – whether in the form of live pets or dead animals.
Keeping animals in the storage room is not only cruel to animals, but also unacceptable for hygienic reasons.
Waste materials
Waste of any kind, especially hazardous waste, does not belong in a storage room. There are special disposal methods for such items that are safe and environmentally friendly.
Illegal possession
Anything that is not legal according to the applicable laws may also not be stored. This applies to any kind of stolen or illegal items.
Very sensitive objects
Items that can only be stored under certain temperature or humidity conditions should not be stored in self-storage. Our storage units are intended for general storage purposes and do not offer any special climate control.
Disruptive
materials
Anything that causes odors, smoke, noise or other emissions should not be stored. This also includes things that could potentially harm other tenants or the building.
Hazardous
materials
Highly flammable substances such as gasoline, paints, chemicals or solvents do not belong in our storage rooms. Weapons, ammunition, explosives and radioactive and biological warfare agents are also prohibited. These things are not only dangerous for you, but also for others.
Now you know exactly which items you are not allowed to store with us so that our storage units remain safe and optimal for all users. If you adhere to these guidelines, your storage will run smoothly. If you are still unsure whether something is allowed to be stored, we will be happy to advise you.
