Most household and business goods are welcome in a storage unit — furniture, archives, stock, tools, seasonal gear. What's not allowed comes down to a short list: anything flammable, perishable, alive, hazardous or illegal stays out, for the sake of every unit around yours.
At Goodspace Rouse Hill, hundreds of units share one clean, secure building — so what one renter brings in affects everyone. Here's the full answer to what you can put in a storage unit, and where the line sits.
The short list of what's not allowed
- Fuel and flammables — petrol, gas bottles, solvents, paint thinners and fireworks
- Food and perishables — anything that can rot, leak or attract pests
- Plants and animals — nothing living, full stop
- Hazardous chemicals — pool chlorine, pesticides, corrosives and other dangerous goods
- Illegal or stolen goods — including anything unlawful to possess
- People — a unit is for goods; it can't be slept in or occupied as a workspace
Your storage agreement lists the specifics for your unit — it's the document that wins if you're ever unsure.
Why the rules exist
None of this is bureaucracy for its own sake. A leaking fuel can or a bag of forgotten rice affects the neighbouring units long before anyone notices — fire risk, odour, pests. The rules are what keep a shared building the kind of place you're happy to keep your own things.
Grey areas worth a phone call
Some things are fine with preparation. Mowers, whipper snippers and motorbikes are generally accepted once fuel is drained. Batteries are best removed from tools and toys. Fridges and washing machines should go in dry, defrosted and with doors ajar. If in doubt, ask before move-in day — it's a two-minute call on (02) 9145 8090.
What you can put in a storage unit
Everything else, more or less: furniture between moves, business stock and documents, tradie tools and materials, e-bikes (batteries charged at home), Christmas decorations and the golf clubs. Units at Rouse Hill run from 1m² lockers to 50m²-plus garages — browse sizes here — and every unit opens contactlessly with the Nokē smart app, which we've explained in our guide to smartphone-access storage.
