Green-Up Day 2024
with Restaurant Olivia & Happy Beetle
In 2024, Restaurant Olivia’s quarterly Green-Up Day coincides with Earth Day. To celebrate, we’re partnering with The Happy Beetle, a local commercial recycling firm, to educate Denver about the ease of recycling.
You’re invited to bring your hard-to-recycle items to Restaurant Olivia on April 22 to dispose of them and learn more about The Happy Beetle's innovative recycling process.
Visit us between 8:00am - 12:00pm.
In the morning our staff and neighbors will be cleaning up the streets of Washington Park, part of our quarterly clean-up initiative which is an important part of our business model.
We welcome you to join us, or to embark on a clean-up initiative in your neighborhood. If you decide to participate, we'd love to see any photos taken of our wonderful guests making our city, and our world, a better place.
Our hope is to nourish both people and the planet through our commitment to improving the environment.
This Earth Day, we’re taking our dedication to the environment to the next level.
Restaurant Olivia is hosting a mass recycling session where both Denver residents and restaurants can dispose of hard-to-recycle materials, like styrofoam and plastic.
We’re partnering with Happy Beetle, a locally-owned business that helps ensure that hard-to-recycle products do not go into landfills.
This Earth Day, The Happy Beetle is bringing bins to the restaurant (located at the intersection of Downing and Alameda) to collect these items and raise awareness of the recycling process and how consumer goods are handled after they are disposed of.
While our aim is to increase Denverites’s consciousness about environmental sustainability, we also hope to inspire other restaurants to limit their waste footprints. As the sole restaurant partner of The Happy Beetle, we aim to lead both by example and by action.
In addition to hosting The Happy Beetle’s team at the restaurant on Earth Day, our team will also embark on a cleanup journey of our own. The idea of a quarterly cleanup came from co-owner Heather Morrison. Raised in New Hampshire, Morrison grew up participating in Green Day cleanups in neighboring Vermont. As she ventured out west in adulthood and started a career and family of her own, her dedication to giving back to the environment remained a driving force in each of her business decisions. When Morrison and her partners opened Restaurant Olivia in 2020, it was meant to serve as a representation of the world Morrison wanted her daughter, Olivia, to live in.
