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 2025, Republic’s total company revenue was $16.6 billion, and adjusted EBITDA
was $5.3 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 42,000 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:
- Safe: We protect the livelihoods of our colleagues and communities.
- Committed to Serve: We go above and beyond to exceed our customers’
expectations.
- Environmentally Responsible: We take action to improve our environment.
- Driven: We deliver results in the right way.
- Human-Centered: We respect the dignity and unique potential of every person.
We are proud of our high employee engagement score of 86. We have an inclusive
and diverse culture where every voice counts. In addition, our team positively
impacted 5.1 million people in 2024 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. These innovative sites process 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.
Our customers are increasingly looking for decarbonization solutions, and we are
leveraging our network of landfills to meet that need. Republic is committed to
harnessing landfill gas, a natural byproduct of decomposing waste, and
converting it to energy. Republic has partnered with renewable gas developers to
construct Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) plants at our landfills, expanding beyond
the 77 projects we currently have to make progress towards our goal to
beneficially reuse 50% more biogas by 2030 (2017 baseline year).
