6 Environmental and Sustainable Practices for RV and Boat Storage Facilities

By The Storage Group

Reduce, reuse, recycle. The motto of green initiatives has been the same for years. Between the environmental impacts and the incentives, incorporating sustainability into your toy storage facility will future-proof your operations. 

  • Solar Panels

6 Environmental and Sustainable Practices for RV and Boat Storage FacilitiesHarvesting the energy that fuels the world is one of the smartest ways to use renewable energy resources. Utilizing solar panel carports for your facility harnesses the energy from sunlight to create electricity. This will help power operations, including lighting, security systems and anything else the facility runs on electricity. Facilities using solar energy can also enhance their reputation and attract eco-conscious customers.

  • Rainwater Harvesting

Not only is harvesting rainwater a way to use the resources around you immediately, but it is especially important if you live in a desert environment. You can make a way for your facility to harvest rainwater for purposes other than drinking. For example, use it to water your landscaping or provide wash stations for boats and recreational vehicles. This reduces the municipal water your property uses, saving you money and reducing your reliance on potable water.

  • LED Lighting

6 Environmental and Sustainable Practices for RV and Boat Storage FacilitiesLED lights are one of those resources that is as simple as replacing a lightbulb. LEDs have a much longer lifespan than traditional bulbs, often lasting up to 25,000 hours or more. This means fewer replacements and less maintenance. LEDs provide bright, consistent lighting that can improve visibility and safety in storage areas. Good lighting helps reduce accidents and makes it easier to inspect and access stored RVs and boats.

  • Green Landscaping

The term green landscaping seems redundant; after all, shouldn’t landscaping be green when done right? Green landscaping improves the visual appeal of the facility, making it more attractive to customers and enhancing overall site aesthetics. Native plants and low-maintenance landscaping require less upkeep, saving labor and resources compared to high-maintenance lawns and gardens.

  • Waste Management

Part of owning a boat and RV storage facility means offering amenities that can entice travelers. Having a dump station is fine, but what if your waste management included recycling efforts? By implementing recycling programs, you not only offer enhanced perks, but reducing and recycling waste will give you an advantage over the competition.

  • Electric Vehicle Charging Stations

6 Environmental and Sustainable Practices for RV and Boat Storage FacilitiesIncorporate electric vehicle and vehicle charging stations. Electric vehicles are gaining popularity. Not only are more people turning to smart technology for driving in their everyday lives, but they are turning to electric recreational vehicles. Offering EV charging stations can also enhance the facility’s image as modern, innovative and forward-thinking, appealing to a broader customer base and standing out from competitors.

Owning a boat and RV storage facility requires immense planning and preparation that can make the difference between success and failure. Sustainability initiatives are actions you can take that bring a measured impact to your company. As with most eco-friendly methods, spending a bit more upfront will save you more money down the road. Plus, taking care of your environment and the community will lend your company the trust and confidence of the locals.
