Jeremy and Teri hold the 1000th energy efficient lightbulb before he installs it in Wash Perk!

The Department of Environmental Health reached out to Wash Perk after seeing The Perkolator on 9News back in May.  The city has created a new certification program for SUSTAINABLE BUSINESSES in Denver and Janet Burgesser came to find out about Wash Perk’s practices and to offer help with improvements.  We are very proud to announce that we had few new practices to add. We secured insulation around our a/c vents in the basement and Jeremy Lauffenburger changed out a good amount of our lightbulbs to more efficient ones.  We were the lucky business to be the recipient of the 1000th FREE energy efficient lightbulb!  It’s not easy or inexpensive to keep our waste down, and we know sometimes it requires extra effort from you and all of our staff.  In the long run, we feel better about reducing our waste and possible harm, and hopefully utility costs.  We think it’s great that The Department of Environmental Health  is trying to support businesses to reduce energy costs, waste and to improve sustainability awareness.  Craig Williams from Infinite Future continues to look in to ways that we can reduce costs, hassles and waste around Wash Perk.  THANK YOU all, including our customers that support and encourage us.

AT THE PERK

CLOSING EARLY: Monday, August 29th at 7pm.  So sorry for the inconvenience.  LABOR DAY we will be open 7am-3pm.

This is mostly an “active social” group, allowing kiddos to romp and parents to connect, and Wash Perk is the VERY FORTUNATE sponsor :-P

Contact Joe at joelindwall@hotmail.com before August 18th if you haven’t already.  This year we will create a sub group of “Perk Puppies” for the <3yr old siblings!
