Being eco-friendly is \u201cin\u201d! There are many ways to be green while moving, such as recycling moving supplies and renting sustainable storage.  U-Haul is one example of a company that offers you a place to store your belongings while being eco-friendly!

Sustainable Modular Storage<\/h2>\n

U-Haul reuses their detached van bodies from retired moving trucks to build sustainable storage units.  By doing so, they are eliminating the need to produce more energy and use more materials such as wood and steel.  So far more than 4,500 Sustainable Modular Storage units have been made. This program is reuse, reduce and recycle in a nut shell and has helped keep more than 10,000 tons of GHG emissions out of our atmosphere! If you are interested in storing your treasure in an eco-friendly way with U-Haul, make sure to find your nearest self-storage facility<\/a>.<\/p>\n
