We know life doesn’t always fit neatly into our office hours (Mon–Thurs, 8:00–5:30). That’s why we have an after-hours drop box —ready whenever you are.

One important detail: please include your name, address, or account number with your payment. Without it, we can’t apply your payment correctly, and that helps no one.

Think of it as putting the return address on a letter—you wouldn’t want your hard-earned money wandering around without knowing where to go. 😉

*Update: The predicted moisture did not grace us with its falling this morning, so the landfill will open after all. At 10:00 AM the Landfill will open to small, residential vehicles. We will accept large, commercial vehicles at 12:00 PM, giving things a bit longer to dry out to accommodate your size. We are sorry the inconvenience the weather causes your landfill plans. We love the rain but we do not want anyone getting stuck out there, as you would have to arrange your own means of rescue. Furthermore, we are mandated by the State of Colorado to close the landfill when wind speeds reach a certain threshold. We realize that in Baca County; the number of those days seem to add up, but we are simply following rules and regulations to keep the landfill open, weather permitting of course.

The Springfield Landfill will be closed today, September 18, 2025 due to muddy conditions.

This young lady came into town hall and purchased her Peddler and Itinerant Merchants License. Her license will expire August 22, 2025. She is here from Latvia, Europe doing a summer exchange program. Here’s what she is up to, in her own words: “I will be going door to door meeting up with families in Colorado helping with education! These include:
1) Study guides to help kids with school, save time doing homework & tests and eliminate frustration.
2) Fun and educational kids books for little ones to give them a head start with learning.
3) Learning materials to excel in AP classes and prepare for ACTs and SATs.
4) Family Bible Library to help kids grow spiritually and build character through biblical stories & prayers.
5) World class leadership program called LEAD that helps build skills that are not taught in classroom.
I DO NOT represent nor am I affiliated with any of the schools.
It is my summer internship and this is the way that I get to pay my way through college.
I do have a bit of an accent, so please do not be intimidated! If I knock on your door and you are not interested, I will thank you for your time & leave you in a good mood!”
