U-Haul today announced the addition of a self-storage re-use center for customers at the Addison U-Haul Center, 2735 Beltline Rd. The U-Haul Re-use Program, one of the company’s sustainability initiatives, was developed to provide a redistribution network for unwanted, gently used household goods, furniture, sporting equipment, bikes and clothing that formerly were destined for landfills.
“At U-Haul, we are committed to sustainable development through environmental protection, social responsibility and economic efficiency,” said Melanie Ray, general manager of Addison UHaul Center. “This program gives U-Haul another opportunity to provide a service which will enhance the self-storage industry by improving the environment for generations to come.”
