We pride ourselves on providing the absolute best there is when it comes to our storage units. We want to make sure that no matter what you bring us, be it clothes, electronics, fine art, and even wine, we at Xtra storage are here to make sure your needs are met. However, with this, there are some items that we can recommend that you never use your storage unit to hold on to. Let us present you with a quick list of things that you are not able to put into storage.

Prohibited Items

Food

Even though we pride ourselves on being an establishment that can house all of your wine needs, this is not the case when it comes to food. Food that is left in a storage unit will attract all sorts of pests and vermin, leading to a potential breach of your unit’s security. This inability to store food stretches out to not using boxes that once held food as storing boxes, as the lingering scent can also attract these disgusting creatures.

Firearms, Gun Powder, and Explosives

These items can pose a serious risk to not only the unit’s patron but to those who work there, and the unit itself. A storage unit is not a stable environment for items that can become so volatile.

Pets

 

Despite the fact that the units have climate control interiors, it is not a proper environment for a living creature to stay in, as most animals need space to move around and roam. Also, as was the case previously with storing food, their food will have the same effect.

Living in the Unit

As is the case with your pet, a storage unit is not suitable for a person to live in either. It is not safe, and you would be deprived of those necessary assets, such as running water, to live happy and healthy.
