Retail program

At U-Haul, we take pride in the wide selection of retail moving, storage and towing accessory products (and services) we offer our customers and will continue to seek ways to make improvements that will have positive affects on the environment. U-Haul has had a long history of featuring environmentally friendly retail products. Here are a few of the products that we are proud to offer.

Take a box, Leave a box

U-Haul now offers a drop location in all company stores where customers can drop-off their reusable moving boxes for other customers to take and use. This is a way for customers to assist one another while promoting reuse of the product, which is always preferable to recycling. With every reuse of a box, a new one is prevented from entering the cycle.

Box Exchange

The U-Haul Box Exchange is a messageboard that you can use to trade, sell or buy reusable boxes and moving supplies. Please view the U-Haul store for additional accessories such as tape and rope.

Let me exchange boxes!

Biodegradable packing peanuts

For the last 15 years, U-Haul has offered a biodegradable packing peanut made of primarily corn and potato starch. The peanuts degrade with water. By using these peanuts U-Haul has been able to help keep 6,119,023 cu ft of styrofoam out of landfills. That is equal to 1,073 train cars!

U-Haul 100% buy-back guarantee

U-Haul has long promoted another form of source reduction through its 100 percent Buyback Guarantee. Customers who take advantage of the Buyback Guarantee are preventing waste at the source and reducing demand for natural resources by returning unused boxes (or "extras") to U-Haul for a full refund. Original receipt required.
