Photo Release -- U-Haul Introduces the First Self-Storage Reuse Centers

EUGENE, Ore., April 7, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- U-Haul, the leader in
self-storage, is introducing the latest in Sustainability initiatives: U-Haul
Reuse Centers. The Reuse Program was developed to provide a redistribution
network for unwanted, gently used household goods, furniture, sporting
equipment, bikes and clothing that were formerly destined for landfills.

"Reusing gives a second life to tons of household items, reduces carbon emission
by reducing trips to landfills and eliminates tons of solid waste deposited in
landfills, while providing customers eco-friendly alternatives to purchasing
these as new products," stated Bill Woods, president, U-Haul Company of Southern
Oregon. "This program provides U-Haul another opportunity to pioneer a system
that will advance the self-storage industry as holding itself responsible for
bettering the environment for generations to come."

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

Corporate citizenship is U-Haul Company's commitment to being accountable to the
communities in which we live and serve. With nearly 1,100 self-storage
facilities conveniently located in North American communities, U-Haul is an
innovative leader in the field of shared storage -- providing shared spaces
which enable local residents to live comfortably in more compact homes and
apartments with substantially reduced living expenses, while at the same time
being able to store their possessions at another location.

U-Haul Corporate Sustainability Initiative

U-Haul was founded by a Navy veteran who grew up in the Great Depression. Tires
and gas were still rationed or in short supply during the late 1940s when U-Haul
began serving U.S. customers. Today, that background is central to the U-Haul
Sustainability Program: "Serving the needs of the present without compromising
the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." Our commitment to
reduce, reuse and recycle includes fuel efficient moving vans, neighborhood
proximity, moving box reuse, moving pads made from discarded material and
packing peanuts that are 100 percent biodegradable. Learn more about these facts
