Restricted Items

Most storage companies will provide you with a list of restricted items. This protects both the storage company and their clients' stored possessions. Go over this list carefully before packing and loading to avoid transporting restricted items to the facility. These items include:

Hazardous Materials, Combustibles & Aerosols

  • Acid
  • Aerosols
  • Ammonia
  • Ammunition
  • Batteries
  • Car Batteries

  • Motor Oil
  • Nail Polish & Remover
  • Paints
  • Paint Thinner
  • Pesticides
  • Poisons
  • Pool Chemicals
  • Propane Tanks

Perishable Food Items
These items attract rodents, bugs and pests and can lead to an infestation which causes a large amount of damage to stored personal belongings. If your goods are stored with perishable food, the insurance company will not insure them.

Personal Items

  • Address Books
  • Air Line Tickets
  • Bonds
  • Car Keys
  • Check Books
  • Coins

  • Photos and Albums
  • Research Projects
  • School Records
  • Stamp Collection
  • Sterling Silver
  • Stocks
  • Tax Records
Plants
Plants do not survive well when moved. They also attract pests and insects. Therefore storage facilities do not allow any type of plant.

Extraordinary High Value Items
High value items should be stored in a facility that specializes in this kind of storage. Consider using a bank safety deposit box for valuables. Storage companies define different types of goods as high value. Some of these items include:

  • Antiques
  • Art Collections
  • Cameras
  • Coin Collections
  • Computer Software
  • Crystal
  • Currency
  • Figurines
  • Furs
  • Oriental Rugs
  • Precious Stones or Gems
  • Silver and Silverware
  • Video Cameras
Firearms
The majority of storage companies do not allow guns or ammunition. You will need to find a facility with strict security guidelines that specialize in such items.

Stolen and Illegal Goods
For obvious reasons, these are not allowed nor appreciated in storage facilities.
