FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
U-Haul Offers 30 Days of Free Storage and U-Box Portable Storage to Residents Who Have Been Affected by Recent Tornado Activity in the State of Texas
DALLAS - (May 25, 2011) — The U-Haul Companies of North Texas, Dallas, Central Texas, Fort Worth and U-Haul Storage Centers of Dallas are offering 30 days of free storage and U-Box Portable Storage to residents of the state of Texas who have been affected by recent tornadoes.
With U-Box Portable Storage, you pick up or we deliver the U-Boxes, you fill them up and we store them in our secure warehouse or deliver them to a location of your choice.
In addition to the 30-days-free self-storage assistance being offered, people who need boxes can take advantage of the U-Haul Take a Box, Leave a Box Program. The program enables customers to return their reusable boxes and allows others to take them as needed – FREE. U-Haul encourages anyone who has any type of reusable box to drop it off at the nearest U-Haul location and allow another family to reuse the box, free of charge, instead of throwing the reusable box into the recycling bin.

U-Haul was founded by a Navy veteran who grew up during the Great Depression. Tires and gas were still rationed or in short supply during the late 1940s when U-Haul began serving U.S. customers. Today, that background is central to the U-Haul Sustainability Program: “Serving the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” Our commitment to reduce, reuse and recycle includes fuel-efficient moving vans, neighborhood proximity, moving box reuse, moving pads made from discarded material and packing peanuts that are 100% biodegradable.
