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.
