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).

Bookkeeper Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a bookkeeper in Arizona?
Arizona does not require a state-issued license to work as a bookkeeper, so the path into the role runs through education and credentials. Most Arizona employers expect at minimum an associate degree in accounting or a related field, though some accept equivalent work experience. Earning the Certified Bookkeeper designation from the American Institute of Professional Bookkeepers strengthens candidacy considerably, as does proficiency in software packages common in Arizona industries such as QuickBooks and Sage.
Which companies hire bookkeepers in Arizona?
Employers hiring bookkeepers in Arizona right now include DPR Construction, Republic Services, and BH Management Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Arizona's large construction, healthcare, and real estate sectors generate particularly consistent openings, so companies in those industries are reliable places to focus your search.
Which Arizona cities have the most bookkeeper jobs?
Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Tempe lead Arizona for bookkeeper openings. Phoenix dominates because it is the state's commercial and corporate headquarters hub, while Scottsdale's concentration of professional services firms and Tucson's mix of healthcare systems, the University of Arizona, and regional businesses each sustain steady demand independent of the Phoenix metro.
Are there remote bookkeeper jobs in Arizona?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 45% of bookkeeper openings tied to Arizona are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting the desk-based and software-driven nature of the work. Accounts payable, accounts receivable, and payroll processing roles are the most likely to be posted as fully remote, particularly at larger companies with distributed finance teams.
How can I get hired as a bookkeeper in Arizona with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is an accounts payable or accounts receivable clerk role, which Arizona employers in construction, healthcare, and property management routinely fill without requiring prior bookkeeping titles. Community colleges such as Mesa Community College and Pima Community College offer accounting certificate programs that Arizona employers recognize as qualifying credentials. Gaining hands-on QuickBooks experience through coursework or a short-term contract position, and pursuing the Certified Bookkeeper designation early, gives candidates without a full accounting degree a concrete edge in Arizona's hiring market.
Where can I find and apply to bookkeeper jobs in Arizona?
You can find and apply to bookkeeper jobs in Arizona on Migrate Mate, which lists current Arizona openings across Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tucson, and surrounding areas. Search the listings for roles that match your experience and specialization, then apply directly to the employers posting them.
