When we moved a couple weeks ago we used a U-Haul truck to make the move. It was A LOT of work. A lot. It's possible we will not do it ourselves again... The only thing that made us feel better is how much money we saved!
As we drove our U-Haul all over Chicago, one stop in Wicker Park, to Logan Square, to Lakeview, to Logan Square, I noticed a sign that they will reuse boxes. This excited me! Almost all our boxes were already used before we packed and they had more life to them.
They even say you can leave the boxes in the U-Haul when you return the truck. We did not have time to fill the truck with boxes before we returned it, but we took some boxes over the next day.
No need to just put them in the recycling bin. Recycling is good. Reusing is better!
U-Haul actually has several programs.
