Nearly 30 portable toilets appeared at more than a dozen trailheads and popular recreation areas in Chaffee County this week.

It’s all part of a “Keep it Clean” initiative by the Chaffee Recreation Council.   

The port-a-potties are funded by Chaffee Common Ground grants awarded to the Greater Arkansas River Nature Association and Salida Mountain Trails.   

The project addresses an immediate need as visitation grows while providing time to pursue permanent vault toilets.
