Contamination of orbital warehouses

So I'm thinking about orbital warehousing of raw materials but I'm wondering whether one would actually need an orbital structure to store the goods inside or could you just strap a booster to the goods to keep them in their orbit and be done with it.

So does anyone know where I could find some hard figures concerning particle contamination of material in geosynchronous orbit?

Edit: Specifically thinking about solid, elemental, raw materials, the mainstays of Sci-fi tech and orbital mining like Iron, Nickel, and Titanium.
