    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.”

    Items placed in the area are available for re-use, not resale, by the U-Haul community, including U-Haul Team members. U-Haul also continues to support humanitarian, community-based organizations such as the Salvation Army, Goodwill and similar organizations by placing clothing-donation bins in close proximity to the designated re-use area so that customers may donate directly to these groups.

    Air ducts should be sealed with mastic sealant, a putty-like material that can be purchased at hardware stores. Because of the Texas heat, the glue on traditional duct tape dries out and loses its adhesive quality. Mastic never totally hardens so it doesn't dry out loosen with age.
