They make you put a deposit and reweigh out. But you have to wait in line again to weigh out. Even if they have your weight in the system. Sometimes they still make you reweigh. So who wants to wait in line for 15-45 minutes to reweigh out to get $20-$40 back? Not a lot of people. Especially when you have two guys sitting in your truck getting paid by the hour. It’s a racket. And borderline scammy.

$100 Minimum charge. Went to dump an old bed frame and mattress and was told it would be $100. No wonder people dump their furniture on the street.

Dump was pricey for a one load. Went on a Sat. and apparently the supervisor on duty left early and sent others home too. They would not let us in because no one was there to weigh us. We were there before closing. Very disappointed. Had to keep a rented U-haul 2 extra days!

Unfortunately, Rainbow does NOT RECYCLE anything that goes into a dumpster. I’ve called them twice to check, since I’ve heard the misconception that they sort on-site so many times. The only things that are recycled are what’s picked up by their recycling service, which costs an extra fee.

Disposal is by the ton and is not prorated. Their current rate is about 100$/ton. If you are in Huntington Beach or somewhere that has a 4-10 program (4 pickups a year, 10 items per pickup), call it in and have them grab it on trash day for free.
