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 Manufacturing Laborer Jobs at Republic Services
Verify your physical work eligibility upfront
Manufacturing Laborer roles at Republic Services require E-Verify clearance. Before applying, confirm your work authorization documents are current and consistent, because discrepancies between your I-9 documents and E-Verify records can delay or disqualify an otherwise strong offer.
Target facilities with active operational hiring
Republic Services operates recycling and waste processing facilities across most U.S. states. Focus your search on locations with open shifts or seasonal demand, since facility-level hiring managers often have more flexibility on sponsorship than centralized corporate recruiters.
Align your resume to physical safety credentials
Republic Services prioritizes OSHA compliance in laborer roles. Highlight any forklift certification, hazardous materials handling training, or safety record from prior manufacturing or logistics work. These credentials directly address the employer's biggest operational risk in this function.
Clarify your visa type during the offer stage
Republic Services sponsors multiple visa categories for this function, including H-1B and TN. When you receive an offer, ask HR directly which visa pathway applies to your role so PERM or DOL prevailing wage requirements are scoped correctly before paperwork begins.
Use Migrate Mate to filter sponsoring facilities
Not every Republic Services location sponsors visas for Manufacturing Laborer positions. Use Migrate Mate to identify which specific facilities and job postings are tied to active sponsorship, so you're applying to openings where international candidates are genuinely considered.
Account for PERM timing in your job search window
If your pathway involves an EB-2 or EB-3 Green Card, PERM labor certification with the DOL typically takes 12 to 18 months before USCIS sees the petition. Factor this into your planning if your current work authorization has a fixed end date.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Republic Services sponsor H-1B visas for Manufacturing Laborers?
Yes, Republic Services has sponsored H-1B visas for workers in operational roles including Manufacturing Laborers. That said, H-1B sponsorship at this level is less common than for professional or technical roles, so it's worth confirming sponsorship availability at the specific facility you're targeting before investing time in the application process.
How do I apply for Manufacturing Laborer jobs at Republic Services?
You can apply directly through Republic Services' careers portal, where facility-level openings are listed by location. Migrate Mate also aggregates Manufacturing Laborer postings from Republic Services and filters them by visa sponsorship eligibility, which helps you identify the right opportunities faster without manually screening each listing.
Which visa types does Republic Services commonly use for Manufacturing Laborer roles?
Republic Services sponsors H-1B, F-1 OPT, F-1 CPT, TN visa, and employment-based Green Card categories including EB-2 and EB-3 for this function. TN visas apply specifically to Canadian and Mexican nationals working in qualifying occupations. F-1 OPT is common for recent graduates bridging into full-time roles before long-term sponsorship is arranged.
What qualifications does Republic Services expect for Manufacturing Laborer roles?
Most Manufacturing Laborer positions at Republic Services prioritize physical stamina, safety awareness, and the ability to operate in regulated waste or recycling environments. Prior experience in manufacturing, logistics, or environmental services is valued. OSHA certifications, forklift licenses, or hazardous materials handling credentials can strengthen your application, particularly for facilities with specialized processing operations.
How long does the visa sponsorship process take for a Manufacturing Laborer at Republic Services?
Timeline depends on the visa type. F-1 OPT authorization can be in place before your start date if USCIS receives your application at least 90 days in advance. H-1B sponsorship requires a lottery selection and standard processing of three to six months. EB-3 Green Card sponsorship through PERM typically runs 18 months or longer from initial filing to petition approval.
