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 Maintenance Jobs at Republic Services Jobs
Certify Credentials Before Applying
Waste management equipment roles often require verifiable technical certifications. Get your diesel mechanic, hydraulic systems, or heavy equipment credentials evaluated by a NACES-approved service before submitting applications, so Republic Services can confirm equivalency without delays.
Target Facilities With Active Hiring Cycles
Republic Services staffs Maintenance roles at regional transfer stations, recycling facilities, and hauling depots. Search by geographic cluster rather than job title alone to find locations with multiple open roles, which signals active workforce planning and higher sponsorship likelihood.
Understand How TN Status Fits Maintenance Roles
Canadian and Mexican nationals in engineering or technician roles may qualify for TN status without an H-1B lottery. Confirm with the hiring team whether your specific Maintenance function falls under a DOL-recognized TN occupation category before the offer stage.
Time Your OPT Application to Fleet Hiring Seasons
Republic Services ramps up fleet Maintenance hiring ahead of summer collection peaks. If you're on F-1 OPT, apply three to four months before that window so your work authorization is active when positions are being filled, not after.
Browse Sponsored Maintenance Roles on Migrate Mate
Filter by visa type and industry on Migrate Mate to surface Republic Services Maintenance openings that align with your sponsorship category. This saves time by surfacing only roles where sponsorship is already part of the employer's hiring process.
Clarify PERM Timing Before Accepting an Offer
If your path to permanent residence requires PERM labor certification, ask Republic Services during negotiations which stage they initiate it. Some employers start PERM after a probationary period, and knowing the timeline upfront helps you plan your H-1B status extensions accordingly.

Find Maintenance at Republic Services JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Republic Services sponsor H-1B visas for Maintenances?
Yes, Republic Services has an established track record of sponsoring H-1B visas for Maintenance professionals. Sponsorship is typically tied to specialized roles involving fleet diagnostics, compressed natural gas systems, or heavy equipment repair where verifiable technical expertise is required. Your best approach is to confirm sponsorship availability directly with the recruiter during early-stage conversations, before a formal offer is extended.
How do I apply for Maintenance jobs at Republic Services?
Applications go through Republic Services' careers portal, where Maintenance openings are listed by facility and role type. You can also find and filter sponsorship-eligible Maintenance roles at Republic Services through Migrate Mate, which surfaces positions by visa type and location. When applying, highlight certifications relevant to waste collection fleet equipment, such as diesel engine repair, hydraulic systems, or CNG vehicle maintenance, as these align closely with Republic Services' operational needs.
Which visa types does Republic Services commonly use for Maintenance roles?
Republic Services sponsors H-1B visas for specialty Maintenance positions and supports F-1 OPT and CPT for students in engineering or technical programs completing practical training. TN status is an option for Canadian and Mexican nationals whose Maintenance function falls under a qualifying DOL occupation. For longer-term permanent residence, Republic Services has pursued EB-2 and EB-3 green card sponsorship for Maintenance professionals in advanced technical roles.
What qualifications does Republic Services expect for sponsored Maintenance positions?
Republic Services prioritizes candidates with hands-on experience servicing heavy-duty diesel fleets, compressed natural gas vehicles, or industrial recycling equipment. Formal trade certifications, such as ASE credentials for diesel or medium-heavy truck repair, strengthen your application considerably. For sponsored roles, your qualifications need to meet the specialty occupation standard under USCIS guidelines, meaning the position typically requires at minimum a relevant associate or bachelor's degree or equivalent certified technical training.
How do I navigate the visa filing process after receiving a Maintenance offer from Republic Services?
Once you have an offer, Republic Services' HR or legal team initiates the sponsorship paperwork, which for H-1B roles includes filing a Labor Condition Application with the DOL before USCIS receives the petition. If you're transitioning from OPT, confirm your OPT expiration date immediately so the timeline is clear. H-1B cap-subject filings open each April for an October 1 start date, so an offer made outside that window may require a cap-exempt route or a status bridge through continued OPT.
