About Republic Services

At Republic, we understand that we play a critical role in helping more than 14 million customers lessen their environmental impact. We also recognize that as we grow the business, our responsibility as environmental stewards grows — along with our potential for even greater impact. This is a source of pride for every employee, because our customers — and the communities we serve — can count on us for solutions that are responsible, reliable and resourceful.

With more than 4.9 million pick-ups per day, responsibly managing an evolving waste stream takes dedication and commitment. It requires a talented team of thousands, executing with precision at every step. It also means anticipating our customers’ needs and delivering solutions throughout our operations.

We have one Earth, and it’s up to us to protect it for generations to come. One of our greatest responsibilities as a leading recycling and waste collection company is managing a very complex and diverse waste stream. Our experience, passion and ethical standards drive us to do more, solve more, innovate more and turn waste into solutions that deliver a valuable product or service while also protecting our planet.

We stand for strong neighborhoods, and investing in the communities in which we live and work is important to us. Our contributions vary in form — we provide financial support where it is needed, volunteer our time and provide in-kind donations of products and services in an effort to sustain our planet and make it better for generations to come.

Nothing is more important than safety, and no job is so urgent that we cannot take the time to do it safely. The very nature of what we do requires us to be uncompromising on safety, beginning with our employees and extending to our customers and into the communities we serve. Simply, a sustainable planet is only possible if everyone works and lives together… safely.

We believe that an engaged and diverse workforce is the greatest indicator of our success. Our people make everything possible — from our profitable Growth through Differentiation strategy to our ability to fulfill our promise to customers and the environment. They make Republic a preferred place to work, and they help make the communities we serve strong and vibrant.
