U-Haul invites you to give the environment a present this holiday season by making your moving, shipping or packing boxes and maybe even the box your presents came in available for reuse by others who need them. U-Haul, a leading retailer of moving and storage boxes and packing supplies in North America, wants to remind everyone about its two newest sustainability initiatives: the Take a Box/Leave a Box Program, and the U-Haul Box Exchange, both of which are geared toward helping customers save money while protecting the environment.
A Take a Box/Leave a Box display is available at U-Haul facilities throughout North America. The program enables customers to return their reusable boxes and allow other customers to take them as needed - FREE. So after unwrapping presents this Christmas, instead of throwing your reusable boxes into the recycle bin, now you can drop them off at the nearest U-Haul location and allow another family to reuse the box, free of charge. After all, reuse always beats recycling.
‘Whether it’s computer boxes or boxes for big-screen TVs, the popular presents for Christmas are the same items that many of our customers will need to pack up for moving or storage. We know that U-Haul customers want to save money, but they are not just saving money, they are helping to save our environment by utilizing free boxes before purchasing new boxes,’ stated Bob Wesson, vice president of U-Haul Center Sales and Operations Support. ‘With every reuse of a box, you not only keep a new box from being manufactured, you also reduce the emissions and costs associated with the recycling process. U-Haul boxes are built strong to protect our customers’ personal possessions while moving or in storage and they can be used again and again, affording our customers the opportunity to help the environment.’
