Rainbow
Disposal Company, Inc.
Rainbow
Disposal Co., Inc. (“Rainbow”) is a diversified disposal
company that has provided services in Orange County, California for
over 50 years. Rainbow’s operations include residential, commercial
and industrial solid waste collection. Rainbow’s wholly owned
subsidiary, Rainbow Transfer/Recycling, Inc. operates a 2,800 tpd transfer
station and material recovery facility in Huntington Beach, California.
This facility includes specific processing systems for each type of
waste: residential MSW - black bin “dirty MRF”, residential
single source recyclables - blue bin “clean MRF”, commercial
and multi-family MSW “dirty MRF”, construction and demolition
waste, “civic amenities” waste, and “green waste”.
Many of the processes used at Rainbow, including the odor control systems,
have been developed in house. Accordingly, the facility has a full solid
waste facilities permit. This facility also has all the requisite permits
from the City of Huntington Beach, County of Orange and State of California
IWMB, as well as the SCAQMD. In June 2004, Rainbow completed the final
stage if its Employee Stock Ownership Plan buy out of the Company. Rainbow
is now 100% employee owned through its ESOP.
Rainbow
has been very successful in dealing with nuisance issues. The local
community regards Rainbow as a good neighbor. Rainbow is located in
a residential neighborhood directly across the street from an elementary
school and preschool. The Rainbow facility is designed to be |
 |
visually appealing from the street by use of tall trees and raised lawns
facing all public views. With respect to noise issues, Rainbow strictly
adheres to permit operating hours and does not perform loud operations
after daytime hours. In its continuing commitment to environmental sustainability,
Rainbow converted 28 trucks to CNG (compressed natural gas) and added
a CNG fuel island for public and government use (schools and cities).
In 2007,
Rainbow completed a significant upgrade to its existing material recovery
facility. The new, proprietary facility, called the “Multi-MRF”,
combines dirty sort lines and clean sort lines into a single system.
This maximizes recycling by allowing for sorting and co-marketing of
dirty sort materials with the clean sorted materials.
Rainbow Disposal Co., Inc. operates a fleet of over 100 collection and
transfer vehicles and has an exemplary history of operating its fleet
and facilities in full compliance with regulatory authorities. Rainbow
received a certificate of achievement from the California Highway Patrol
for having passed the BIT inspection for the past 17 years without any
notices or compliance orders.
Rainbow
has agreed to act as One Planet’s waste advisor assisting One
Planet in evaluating and negotiating waste disposal agreements. One
Planet will also utilize (where appropriate) Rainbow’s state-of-the-art
MRF technology as the front end for many of its projects. Rainbow will
supervise the construction of the MRF and manage operations.
