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 Manager Jobs at Republic Services Jobs
Frame your credentials around territory management
Republic Services Account Managers own defined service territories, so your resume should show experience managing geographic accounts or service-based client portfolios. Quantify retention rates and revenue growth rather than listing general sales duties.
Target open roles in underserved markets
Republic Services operates in hundreds of U.S. markets, and hiring pressure is highest in regions with municipal contract expansions. Applying to roles in mid-size metros rather than only major cities often means faster hiring decisions and more flexibility during the offer stage.
Clarify sponsorship before the offer stage
Ask your recruiter directly whether the specific business unit has sponsored this role before. Some divisions move faster than others. Raising sponsorship early prevents being screened out quietly after multiple interview rounds.
Align your OPT start date with the hiring cycle
If you're on F-1 OPT, Republic Services typically hires Account Managers on a rolling basis, but budget cycles often accelerate Q1 and Q3 starts. Filing your OPT EAD with USCIS at least 90 days before your program end date protects your authorization window.
Use Migrate Mate to filter verified sponsorship openings
Identifying which Republic Services Account Manager postings are tied to active sponsorship activity is the hardest part of this search. Migrate Mate filters job listings by verified visa sponsorship history, so you can prioritize roles where sponsorship is already established.
Understand the PERM timeline for green card pathways
Republic Services sponsors EB-2 and EB-3 green cards for Account Managers, but PERM labor certification with DOL typically takes 12 to 18 months before the I-140 petition stage. Negotiate a clear sponsorship commitment in writing before you start, not after your first review.

Find Account Manager at Republic Services JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Republic Services sponsor H-1B visas for Account Managers?
Yes, Republic Services has sponsored H-1B visas for Account Manager roles. Because H-1B cap-subject petitions are tied to the annual lottery, timing your offer and filing around the April 1 registration window is critical. Cap-exempt scenarios do not apply here, so you and your employer need to plan around USCIS's fiscal year cycle from the start.
How do I apply for Account Manager jobs at Republic Services?
Applications go through Republic Services' careers portal at republicservices.com. If you need visa sponsorship, use Migrate Mate to identify which open Account Manager postings have a verified sponsorship track record before applying, so you're not spending weeks in a process that stalls at the sponsorship conversation. Tailor your application to show territory management and client retention experience relevant to waste and environmental services accounts.
Which visa types does Republic Services commonly use for Account Manager roles?
Republic Services supports H-1B transfers and new cap-subject filings, F-1 OPT and CPT for recent graduates, TN visas for Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying professional categories, and employment-based Green Card sponsorship through the EB-2 and EB-3 preference categories. The right pathway depends on your nationality, education, and where you are in your career stage.
What qualifications does Republic Services expect for Account Manager candidates needing sponsorship?
Republic Services typically looks for a bachelor's degree in business, marketing, or a related field, combined with demonstrated B2B sales or account management experience. For H-1B eligibility, the role must qualify as a specialty occupation, meaning a degree requirement is documented in the job description. Experience managing service contracts or route-based accounts in environmental, logistics, or facilities sectors strengthens your profile significantly.
How do I estimate the timeline from job offer to work authorization at Republic Services?
If you're transferring an existing H-1B, you can begin work as soon as USCIS receives the petition, which typically takes one to two weeks to prepare and file. For new H-1B cap petitions, you're looking at a start date no earlier than October 1 of the relevant fiscal year. OPT candidates can start sooner, provided EAD is already in hand and the role qualifies under your STEM or standard OPT authorization period.
