WASH PERK’S GOING GREEN PLAN
We believe that as a business and as individuals in this shop we can do more to decrease our waste first and then we can come from a place of love and encouragement to offer customers options to choose reusable containers whenever possible. Words, rules and imposing opinions are toxic to our planet, too. Wash Perk wishes to minimize that kind of harm as we make choices that fit for us. Everyone gets personal choice, and we are a business that wants to encourage, not punish. We are open to your ideas as we move forward. Listed below are some of the ways we are “greening” up the shop.
- We have ordered 2oz glass jars and lids for our condiments.
- We’ve switched over to bulk sweeteners (convenience packs are behind counter).
- We are trying to switch over to as much glass and aluminum beverages in carry out fridge.
We are also going to be offering new products to push forward with our green plan:
- 16oz and 24oz double wall insulated reusable tumblers
- Reusable Bamboo utensil sets = $12
- Wrap n Mats = $7
- Stainless Steal Straws = $3.25
- Wash Perk Travel Mugs = $15

All of the entries were so wonderful. And thank you, Dean from Barnstormer Graphics for doing such a wonderful and rapid turn around on the stickers and window cling.
