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.

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 Diesel Mechanic Jobs at Republic Services Jobs
Obtain ASE Certifications Before Applying
ASE Medium/Heavy Truck certifications signal job-ready competence to Republic Services hiring managers. Credentialing your diesel expertise before you apply strengthens both your candidacy and your visa petition, since USCIS and DOL scrutinize whether the role genuinely requires specialized qualifications.
Target Locations With Active Fleet Needs
Republic Services operates hundreds of regional hauling and transfer facilities across the country. Focus your applications on markets where waste collection contracts are expanding, since those locations are more likely to have open requisitions and hiring managers with budget authority to initiate sponsorship.
Clarify Sponsorship Scope During the Offer Stage
Before signing an offer, confirm whether Republic Services will support both the initial nonimmigrant petition and a future Green Card pathway through PERM. Waste management employers sometimes sponsor for H-1B or TN status but have not formalized EB-3 pipelines for trade roles.
Use Migrate Mate to Surface Verified Openings
Search Migrate Mate to filter Diesel Mechanic postings at Republic Services by visa type and location. This saves time you would otherwise spend guessing which facilities are actively hiring sponsored roles versus listings that are posted without sponsorship intent.
Document Your Commercial Vehicle Specializations Precisely
Republic Services runs CNG, diesel, and hybrid refuse trucks. Your resume and any supporting visa petition documents should specify the drivetrain types, emission systems, and diagnostic tools you have worked on, since vague experience descriptions can slow DOL prevailing wage determinations.
Understand the TN Visa Option If You Are Canadian or Mexican
Diesel Mechanics can qualify for TN status under the USMCA if you hold the right credentials and your employer documents a qualifying professional arrangement. TN processing is faster than H-1B and has no annual cap, making it worth discussing with Republic Services HR if you are eligible.

Find Diesel Mechanic at Republic Services JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Republic Services sponsor H-1B visas for Diesel Mechanics?
Yes, Republic Services has sponsored H-1B visas for Diesel Mechanic roles. Because this is a hands-on trade position, the petition must clearly establish that the role meets the specialty occupation threshold, which typically means documenting the technical complexity of modern refuse fleet systems and the degree or equivalent experience required. Working with an immigration attorney during the offer stage is strongly advisable.
How do I apply for Diesel Mechanic jobs at Republic Services?
Applications go through the Republic Services careers portal, where Diesel Mechanic roles are listed by region and facility type. You can also browse verified Diesel Mechanic openings at Republic Services on Migrate Mate, which filters listings by visa sponsorship type so you can focus only on roles where sponsorship is a documented possibility before you invest time applying.
Which visa types are commonly used for Diesel Mechanic roles at Republic Services?
Republic Services has sponsored Diesel Mechanic candidates through H-1B, TN, EB-2, EB-3, and F-1 OPT pathways. For most international candidates, H-1B or TN are the practical entry points depending on nationality, while EB-3 is the most common immigrant visa route for skilled trade workers seeking permanent residence through employer sponsorship.
What qualifications does Republic Services expect for sponsored Diesel Mechanic roles?
Republic Services typically expects hands-on experience with heavy commercial vehicles, including diesel and CNG powertrains, hydraulic systems, and onboard diagnostics. ASE Medium/Heavy Truck certifications are valued and may be required for certain facilities. A technical degree or vocational credential combined with documented work history strengthens both your application and any associated visa petition under USCIS and DOL review.
How do I think about the timing between my job offer and visa filing at Republic Services?
Once Republic Services extends an offer with sponsorship, the employer initiates the visa filing process. For H-1B, cap-subject petitions can only be filed for an October 1 start date, which means timing your job search around the March registration window matters. TN and OPT extensions have more flexible timelines. Confirm with HR how far in advance they begin the filing process so you can plan accordingly.
