We don't track who uses our toilets for a variety of privacy reasons, so we do some pretty weird math to count our poops!

Retrofitted our toilets with more durable and cleanable materials to withstand their increased use

“Access to toilet facilities contributes to both health and human dignity. Many people are dependent entirely on public facilities - which are extremely limited in our community. Toilet Equity has reached out to address this need.”

-Sister Karen,
Grand Valley Catholic Outreach,
Grand Junction, CO

“Having the toilets has done a great deal for those experiencing homelessness. It has helped prevent the number of public urination charges in the community. For those already struggling to get back on their feet, it has helped a great deal to give access to toilets and prevent people from being forced to publicly use the bathroom and potentially get a criminal charge.”

What's 
Next?

A Bigger Compost Site

We're currently composting on our generous founder's property, and are running out of room! We need a new site to expand to in order to keep serving the Grand Valley and so that we can install more toilets and keep more poop and pee off the streets of our community.

​

If you have an idea of someone we could partner with near Grand Junction, CO, let us know! 

Stay tuned for compost updates, including:

  • Building the new site,

  • Testing our 2024 piles as they come of age,

  • And how we'll use the finished compost!

Thank you to all of our volunteers, donors, and supporters
who made our success this year possible. 

​
We are very excited to continue working with you in 2025
to continue providing equitable toilet access for those without,
in service of community and environmental health.
