U-Haul debuts a reuse center in Somerville

July 16, 2009 06:51 AM 

By Chris Reidy, Globe Staff

U-Haul, a company whose specialties include moving and self-storage, said that one of its new U-Haul Reuse Centers is at a U-Haul facility located at 600 Mystic Valley Parkway in Somerville.

"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," the company said in a press release.

"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," Levi Parmerter, U-Haul Company of Boston president, said in a statement. "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."
