What Not To Store
While storing your goods because you want more space or to de-clutter can be a great idea, there are some items that you should never bring to our mini storage units.
- Dangerous goods, or hazardous materials, are solids, liquids, or gases that can harm people, other living organisms, property, or the environment. (Thanks, Wikipedia!) They are subject to chemical regulations and should never be left with a storage company.
- Our storage units are not designed to keep animals, either alive or stuffed. We don’t allow you to plug in or use any equipment that would maintain an atmosphere in a storage unit that would keep an animal in good shape. Same with plants.
- For obvious reasons, we don’t allow customers to store any stolen items with our storage company. That could be seen as assisting a criminal act, and we never want to be a part of that.
