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).

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Republic Services Green Card Jobs
Target engineering and technical roles
Republic Services most consistently pursues Green Card sponsorship for roles requiring specialized technical expertise, particularly in environmental engineering, data systems, and operations management. These functions align with the company's long-term workforce retention priorities in waste and environmental services.
Raise sponsorship early in the hiring process
Green Card sponsorship requires employer commitment well before your priority date becomes current. Bring it up during the offer stage, not after. Republic Services hiring managers in technical divisions are generally familiar with the process but need time to align with HR and legal.
Understand the PERM labor certification timeline
Green Card sponsorship at Republic Services typically starts with PERM labor certification, which involves DOL-required recruitment steps before filing. This process alone can take many months, so set realistic expectations about when permanent residence paperwork will actually begin.
Focus on roles with clear specialized degree requirements
Republic Services sponsorship tends to favor positions where a specific degree field is genuinely required, not just preferred. Roles in environmental compliance, waste systems engineering, and data analytics fit this profile better than generalist management or administrative positions.
Search for verified Republic Services sponsorship openings
Not every Republic Services job listing will specify visa sponsorship availability. Migrate Mate surfaces verified sponsors so you can filter by real sponsorship history, helping you focus your application efforts on roles where Green Card sponsorship is actually on the table.
Build a case for retention before asking for sponsorship
Green Card sponsorship is a multi-year commitment from Republic Services. Candidates who have demonstrated performance in an H-1B visa or OPT role with the company, or who have directly comparable experience in environmental services, are in a stronger position to secure that commitment.
Republic Services Green Card Visa Sponsorship: Frequently Asked Questions
Does Republic Services sponsor Green Card visas?
Yes, Republic Services sponsors Green Card visas for qualifying employees, primarily in technical, engineering, and operational roles. Sponsorship is not guaranteed for every position and depends on the role's requirements, the candidate's qualifications, and internal HR and legal capacity. Candidates in specialized functions have the strongest path to sponsorship.
Which roles and departments at Republic Services are most likely to receive Green Card sponsorship?
Green Card sponsorship at Republic Services is most common in technical and engineering functions, including environmental engineering, data analytics, systems operations, and environmental compliance. Roles that require a specific degree field and involve long-term institutional knowledge are the best candidates, as sponsorship reflects a commitment to retaining specialized talent over many years.
How do I navigate the Green Card application process at Republic Services?
The process typically begins with PERM labor certification, where Republic Services must demonstrate to the Department of Labor that no qualified U.S. worker is available for the role. After PERM approval, the company files an immigrant petition on your behalf. Throughout this process, Republic Services works with outside immigration counsel, and your involvement is primarily in documentation and coordination.
How long does Green Card sponsorship take at Republic Services?
The timeline depends heavily on your visa category and country of birth. For most EB-2 and EB-3 applicants born outside high-demand countries, the PERM and petition stages can take one to two years, after which your priority date must become current before you can apply for adjustment of status. For applicants from India or China, waits can extend significantly longer due to per-country backlogs.
How do I find Green Card jobs at Republic Services that are open to sponsorship?
Job listings rarely state explicitly whether Green Card sponsorship is available, which makes it difficult to know where to apply. Migrate Mate tracks real employer sponsorship history so you can identify Republic Services roles where sponsorship has been granted before, helping you prioritize applications strategically rather than guessing based on job descriptions alone.
What is the prevailing wage for Green Card sponsorship at Republic Services?
Employers sponsoring a Green Card through the PERM labor certification process must pay at least the prevailing wage for the role. The Department of Labor determines this rate based on the specific job title, location, and experience level. The prevailing wage is locked in during the PERM filing and applies through the entire Green Card process. You can look up current rates using the DOL's OFLC Wage Search tool.
