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:
- 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 4.6 million people in 2023 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.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Account Associate Jobs at Republic Services Jobs
Align your credentials to LCA-filed titles
Republic Services files Labor Condition Applications with DOL under specific job titles before sponsoring any visa. Confirm your resume mirrors the exact title and duties in their active LCA filings to avoid mismatches that can delay or complicate petition approval.
Target regions with high account turnover
Account Associate openings at Republic Services concentrate in markets with dense commercial waste contracts, particularly in the Sun Belt and Southeast. Applying to roles in those high-volume regions increases your chances of landing a position where sponsorship headcount is already budgeted.
Clarify CPT and OPT timelines before your first interview
Republic Services hires F-1 students on CPT and OPT for Account Associate roles, but client-facing positions require onboarding by a fixed quarter start. Know your remaining OPT days and have your authorization documents ready before the offer conversation begins.
Use Migrate Mate to filter verified sponsoring roles
Distinguishing Republic Services postings that include sponsorship from those that do not is time-consuming. Migrate Mate filters Account Associate listings to surface only positions where Republic Services has an active sponsorship history, so you're not applying blind.
Address TN eligibility if you hold Canadian or Mexican citizenship
TN status covers management consultants and certain business roles, but Account Associate duties at Republic Services blend sales and client management. Confirm with Republic Services HR whether they'll file under TN or default to H-1B, since the classification affects your timeline significantly.
Negotiate the I-129 filing date into your offer terms
H-1B cap-subject petitions for Account Associates must be filed for an October 1 start. If your offer comes after April, confirm in writing whether Republic Services will file for the following fiscal year, so you're not left without a start date.

Find Account Associate at Republic Services JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Republic Services sponsor H-1B visas for Account Associates?
Yes, Republic Services sponsors H-1B visas for Account Associate roles. The process requires the company to first file a certified Labor Condition Application with the DOL, then submit Form I-129 to USCIS. For cap-subject candidates, the October 1 fiscal year start applies, so timing your job search and offer negotiation around the H-1B registration window in March is important.
How do I apply for Account Associate jobs at Republic Services?
Applications go through Republic Services' careers portal, where Account Associate roles are posted by region. You can also find verified sponsorship-eligible openings through Migrate Mate, which filters listings by sponsorship history. Tailor your application to emphasize client relationship management, B2B sales experience, and any background in service-sector or route-based industries, since those translate well to waste management accounts.
Which visa types does Republic Services commonly use for Account Associate roles?
Republic Services has sponsored H-1B, F-1 OPT, F-1 CPT, TN, and employment-based Green Card pathways including EB-2 and EB-3 for this function. F-1 OPT is the most common entry point for recent graduates, while H-1B is the primary long-term sponsorship vehicle. EB-2 and EB-3 sponsorship typically comes after demonstrated performance in the role over multiple years.
What qualifications and experience does Republic Services expect for Account Associates?
Republic Services generally looks for a bachelor's degree in business, marketing, communications, or a related field. Prior B2B sales experience or account management in a service-based industry is a strong differentiator. Because the role involves managing commercial waste contracts across assigned territories, demonstrated comfort with CRM tools, quota-based work, and client retention metrics matters during the interview process.
How long does the visa sponsorship process typically take for an Account Associate at Republic Services?
For H-1B cap-subject cases, the process runs from USCIS registration in March through an October 1 start, making the effective timeline around six to seven months from selection. OPT authorization is faster since USCIS targets a 90-day processing window, but you should apply well before your current status expires. PERM-based Green Card sponsorship through EB-2 or EB-3 adds a multi-year track on top of your nonimmigrant status.
