The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Huntington Beach collects trash, recycling and organics through Republic Services, formerly Rainbow Disposal, and every home and business has to carry the service. Big items move on the hauler's scheduled bulk item pickup rather than a city collection, self-haul loads go to the transfer station public dump on Nichols Lane, and electronics go free to the Orange County household hazardous waste center at the same address.
