Well...it's complicated. See, it's locked up in your house, but the non-Jew is the owner. So it's not yours. You aren't using it.

It's a legal dealie. Because you (a Jewish person) can't have any of that stuff in your house during Pesach. However, if a non-Jew owns it, it's not yours. So a non-Jew hands you a nominal amount of money (say, five shekels, which is a single coin) and takes ownership for a week. At the end of the week you give him the five shekels back. That way you don't have to get rid of a lot of staples in the pantry, just lock them up for a week.
