At Odes UTV LLC, we are not just a dealership — we are outdoor enthusiasts who spend our weekends on the same trails, deserts, and mountains our customers explore. We have a personal stake in protecting these environments. This policy is not a formality — it is a reflection of who we are and how we operate our business every single day.
This Environmental Policy outlines the steps Odes UTV LLC takes to minimize our environmental impact in our Riverside, CA facility and across our nationwide operations. We review and update this policy regularly to ensure we are continuously improving our environmental practices as our business grows and technology evolves.
Of shop waste diverted from landfill through recycling and proper disposal programs
Of customer transactions handled digitally — reducing paper waste across our office
Of used oils, fluids, and lubricants from our service department are properly recycled
Of our facility lighting has been converted to energy-efficient LED technology
Of hazardous materials disposed of through certified, compliant disposal channels
All used motor oils, coolants, brake fluids, and lubricants generated by our service department are collected in sealed containers and disposed of through California-certified recycling and disposal programs — never poured down drains or disposed of improperly.
Service DepartmentWe actively encourage digital invoices, electronic contracts, and email-based communication for all transactions. Our goal is to eliminate unnecessary paper use across all departments while keeping our customers fully informed digitally.
Office OperationsOur facility maintains a comprehensive recycling program covering cardboard, plastics, metals, packaging materials, and electronic waste. All shipping materials received from suppliers are sorted and recycled wherever possible before disposal.
Facility WideWe are actively transitioning our facility lighting to energy-efficient LED systems and have implemented practices to reduce unnecessary energy consumption — including automatic lighting controls, equipment power-down protocols, and efficient HVAC scheduling.
EnergyWhen shipping parts and accessories, we prioritize reusable, recyclable, or biodegradable packaging materials. We minimize excess packaging and encourage customers to recycle or reuse received packaging materials where possible.
ShippingOur vehicle washing and facility maintenance operations use water-efficient practices and equipment. We comply with all applicable California water use regulations and actively look for opportunities to further reduce our water footprint.
WaterOdes UTV LLC operates its Riverside, CA facility in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local environmental regulations. We maintain all required permits and conduct regular internal reviews to ensure our operational practices meet or exceed legal environmental standards.
Our service department handles a range of automotive fluids and chemicals that require careful management. We take this responsibility seriously and have established strict protocols for every material that enters and exits our facility.
As a nationwide shipping operation, we recognize our responsibility to minimize the environmental footprint of our packaging and logistics operations.
Reducing our energy consumption is an ongoing priority at Odes UTV LLC. Every kilowatt saved is a step toward a smaller environmental footprint and a lower operational cost that benefits our customers.
As a UTV dealership, we have a unique responsibility to promote responsible off-road riding among our customers. The trails and public lands our customers enjoy are irreplaceable — and keeping them accessible depends on riders who respect the land.
Environmental responsibility begins with our people. All Odes UTV LLC team members are trained in our environmental policies and are expected to uphold these standards in their daily work.
We extend our environmental commitment to our supply chain by giving preference to suppliers and business partners who demonstrate responsible environmental practices.
This Environmental Policy is a living document. We are committed to continuously reviewing, improving, and expanding our environmental practices as our business grows and as new opportunities for positive impact emerge.
Odes UTV LLC partnered with a California-certified hazardous waste disposal provider to ensure all used oils, coolants, and automotive fluids from our service department are properly collected and recycled — diverting harmful materials from landfills and waterways.
We began our transition to digital-first operations — moving invoices, customer records, service documents, and contracts to electronic formats. This single initiative has significantly reduced our paper consumption and improved operational efficiency at the same time.
We expanded our on-site recycling infrastructure to cover cardboard, plastics, metals, batteries, and electronic waste. Clearly labeled recycling stations were placed throughout the facility to make responsible disposal easy for every team member.
We began the progressive conversion of our facility lighting from energy-intensive fluorescent and incandescent bulbs to energy-efficient LED technology — reducing electricity consumption and improving workplace lighting quality simultaneously.
We integrated environmental responsibility into every customer interaction — providing trail stewardship information, responsible riding guidelines, and Leave No Trace principles to every UTV purchaser. Because the best way to protect the trails is to educate the people who ride them.
We started Odes UTV LLC because we love the outdoors. The mountains, deserts, forests, and trails of Southern California are not just our business backdrop — they are our home and our passion. Protecting them is not optional. It is personal.
Every decision we make — from how we dispose of a quart of oil to how we package a shipment — is made with an eye toward its environmental impact. We will always strive to do more, improve more, and set a higher standard for what a responsible powersports dealership looks like.
We welcome questions, feedback, and suggestions about our environmental practices. Our team is happy to discuss how we operate and what steps we are taking toward a more sustainable future.
