Job Description:
ABOUT THE COMPANY
Republic Services, Inc
(NYSE:
RSG) is a leader in the environmental services industry. We provide
customers with the most complete set of products and services,
including recycling, waste, special waste, hazardous waste and
field services. Our industry-leading commitments to advance
circularity and support decarbonization are helping deliver on our
vision to partner with customers to create a more sustainable
world.In 2023, Republic's total company revenue was $14.9 billion,
and adjusted EBITDA was $4.4 billion. We serve 13 million customers
and operate more than 1,000 locations, including collection and
transfer stations, recycling and polymer centers, treatment
facilities, and landfills.
Although we operate across North America, the collection,
recycling, treatment, or disposal of materials is a local business,
and the dynamics and opportunities differ in each market we serve.
By combining local operational management with standardized
business practices, we drive greater operating efficiencies across
the company while maintaining day-to-day operational decisions at
the local level, closest to the customer.
Our customers, including small businesses, major corporations and
municipalities, want a partner with the expertise and capabilities
to effectively manage their multiple recycling and waste streams.
They choose Republic Services because we are committed to exceeding
their expectations and helping them achieve their sustainability
goals. Our 41,000 team members understand that it's not just what
we do that matters, but how we do it.
Our company values guide our daily actions:

Committed to Serve

Environmentally Responsible:

through the Republic Services Charitable Foundation and local
community grants. These projects are designed to meet the specific
needs of the communities we serve, with a focus on building
sustainable neighborhoods.
STRATEGY
Republic Services' strategy is designed to generate profitable
growth. Through acquisitions and industry advancements, we safely
and sustainably manage our customers' multiple waste streams
through a North American footprint of vertically integrated
assets.We focus on three areas of growth to meet the increasing
needs of our customers:
recycling and waste, environmental solutions and sustainability
innovation.
With our integrated approach, strengthening our position in one
area advances other areas of our business. For example, as we grow
volume in recycling and waste, we collect additional material to
bolster our circularity capabilities. And as we expand
environmental solutions, we drive additional opportunities to
provide these services to our existing recycling and waste
customers.Recycling and Waste
We continue to expand our recycling and waste business footprint
throughout North America through organic growth and targeted
acquisitions. The 13 million customers we serve and our more than 5
million pick-ups per day provide us with a distinct advantage. We
aggregate materials at scale, unlocking new opportunities for
advanced recycling. In addition, we are cross-selling new products
and services to better meet our customers' specific needs.
Environmental Solutions
Our comprehensive environmental solutions capabilities help
customers safely manage their most technical waste streams. We are
expanding both our capabilities and our geographic footprint. We
see strong growth opportunities for our offerings, including PFAS
remediation, an increasing customer need.
SUSTAINABILITY INNOVATION
Republic's recent innovations to advance circularity and
decarbonization demonstrate our unique ability to leverage
sustainability as a platform for growth.The Republic Services
Polymer Center is the nation's first integrated plastics recycling
facility. This innovative site processes rigid plastics from our
recycling centers, producing recycled materials that promote true
bottle-to-bottle circularity. We also formed Blue Polymers, a joint
venture with Ravago, to develop facilities that will further
process plastic material from our Polymer Centers to help meet the
growing demand for sustainable packaging. We are building a network
of Polymer Centers and Blue Polymer facilities across North
America.
We continue to advance decarbonization at our landfills. As demand
for renewable energy continues to grow, we have 70 landfill
gas-to-energy projects in operation and plan to expand our
portfolio to 115 projects by 2028.
