When utilizing storage facilities, such as those provided by Yellowhead Storage, it’s essential to understand what items are incompatible with our units. Our commitment to providing a safe and secure environment for your belongings requires careful consideration of items that shouldn’t be stored due to safety, legal, or environmental reasons.
Hazardous Materials are strictly prohibited from being stored in our units. This includes chemicals, fuels, explosives, or anything flammable. These materials pose significant risks to our staff and other customers and the structural integrity of the storage units. Mishandling or storing these items could lead to potential accidents or damage, which is why we strictly enforce this policy.
Perishable Goods are another category that should not find their way into our storage spaces. Items like food or plants are prone to spoilage, attracting pests and creating unpleasant odours. Storing perishables violates our terms and risks damage to other stored items due to spillage or decay. Consuming or disposing of perishable items is highly recommended before utilizing our storage facilities.
Furthermore, we must refrain from storing anything “living” in our units. Pets, plants, or anything living should not be housed within these spaces as they require specific conditions for their well-being. For pets, suitable arrangements should be made for their care outside our storage units. Similarly, plants need adequate light, water, and air circulation, which cannot be provided in a storage environment.
While our facilities are secure, items of significant value or irreplaceable nature, such as highly valuable jewelry, important documents, or sentimental items, might require specialized storage. While our security measures are robust, some items might need specific climate controls or additional security beyond our offer. In such cases, seeking out alternative arrangements for these items is advisable.
Finally, it’s crucial to note that illegal or prohibited items should never be stored within our premises. Any items that violate the law or our terms and conditions are strictly forbidden and will result in immediate action being taken.
Adhering to these guidelines regarding incompatible items ensures the safety and security of your belongings. It contributes to maintaining a safe, secure, and compliant environment for all users of Yellowhead Storage facilities.
