The Palmdale Road U-Haul Storage facility will be selling a wide variety of environmentally friendly packing supplies: boxes made out of recyclable materials, 100 percent biodegradable packing peanuts and moving pads made from recycled denim. Also on site will be a Take A Box/Leave a Box display, which allows customers or anyone in the community to leave moving boxes or unwanted electronics boxes for another customer to reuse for free, instead of throwing them away or recycling them.
"We are pleased to be expanding our presence in Victorville, and look forward to continuing our long-standing relationships with local communities throughout California," stated Carlos Vizcarra, president of AMERCO Real Estate. "Moreover, with the expansion of U-Haul self-storage operations, we are better equipped to meet our customers' current and future needs. Families needing the finest in moving services now will have increased convenience and a shorter distance to travel when moving and storing their goods, which not only will make their move easier but will have the positive effect of reducing the amount of carbon emissions released into the atmosphere," Vizcarra said.
The Palmdale Road U-Haul Storage facility will feature 24-hour security with electronically controlled access, state-of-the-art digital video surveillance, your lock/your key, both climate- and nonclimate-controlled storage rooms, FREE use of storage carts, no deposit or administration fees, a convenient credit-card payment plan and available low-cost Safestor protection to help safeguard personal possessions.
The U-Haul facility's focus on sustainability will also include a Reuse Center to provide our customers with a location to donate unwanted, gently used household goods, furniture, sporting equipment and clothing for other customers to take for free. These are items that normally would be headed to the Dumpster and/or a landfill.
Customers who rent a U-Haul moving van or trailer for a one-way move can receive one month of free storage before or after their move.
Customers can rent storage from more than 1,091 U-Haul owned storage facilities across the United States and Canada by calling their neighborhood U-Haul center, visiting www.uhaul.com or contacting the U-Haul national reservation system, at 1-800-GO-UHAUL.
