- $58,835 spent. Toilet Equity provided safe dignified sanitation access in the Grand Junction CO area to more than 200 individuals daily through the installation and maintenance of composting toilets collecting over 3,000 gallons of human waste. These services directly reduced open defecation in alleyways parks and waterways improving public health and environmental conditions in the communities served. The organization maintained and serviced toilet sites ensuring they remained clean functional and accessible. Composting systems were managed separately from toilet units with materials such as sawdust used to control odor and support safe waste processing. In addition to direct services Toilet Equity increased public awareness of sanitation inequities and the importance of accessible restroom infrastructure. Through community engagement outreach and partnerships the organization worked to advance long-term sustainable solutions to sanitation access.
