Extra Space Storage has specific policies regarding prohibited items to ensure the safety and security of all customers and their belongings. Generally, there are certain categories of items that are not allowed to be stored in their facilities. These items typically include hazardous materials, such as flammable liquids, explosives, and toxic substances. Items that emit strong odors or attract pests, like food items or perishable goods, are also prohibited. Additionally, live animals or plants are not permitted in the storage units, as they can pose health and safety risks. Stolen goods or items that violate local laws are strictly forbidden.
