Welcome back to Reuse at U-Haul. If you have not read the first article in the series you can find it here: Take A Box, Leave A Box.<\/a><\/p>\n

In the first blog we talked about reusing boxes through the Take A Box Leave A Box program. Of course when packing or unpacking those boxes, we sometimes come across items we no longer want. U-Haul encourages reuse instead of recycling or disposing of unwanted goods.<\/p>\n

Storage Re-Use Centers<\/h2>\n

When moving in or out of storage, what should you do with all your unwanted goods? You can leave them in a Storage Re-Use Center found in many U-Haul owned storage locations. The re-use centers were developed to provide a redistribution network for gently used goods and materials that were formally destined for landfills.<\/p>\n

Have a lamp you no longer want? A desk your child has outgrown? Maybe a chair that won\u2019t fit in your new apartment? Avoid a trip to the landfill or the hassle of a yard sale. Leave these items behind in a Storage Re-Use Center and another family may have the perfect spot for them in their new place.<\/p>\n

The redistribution of these goods not only prevents waste from filling up landfills, but also gives new life to the left-behind items. It is estimated that through the Storage Re-Use Centers, local residents reuse more than 135,000 household goods every year.<\/p>\n

Check out the U-Haul Reuse Programs<\/a> to learn more about these re-use centers.<\/p>\n
