Drive up Rainbow Falls Road and you’ll see a scale house where commercial trucks and larger loads stop to be weighed; tipping fees are typically charged by weight at this kind of facility. Pull into the booth lane and follow directions from the attendant or signage to the unloading area; loads are usually directed to specific cells or working faces. The site is open, mostly gravel and compacted dirt, with heavy equipment moving material around, so expect some dust and truck traffic. Near the entrance there are often recycling or transfer staging areas off to one side, and larger commercial vehicles queue before getting onto the scale.
