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 Repair Technician Jobs at Republic Services Jobs
Certify Your Credentials Before Applying
ASE certifications carry significant weight for Repair Technician roles in fleet-heavy industries like waste management. Having active, documented ASE credentials before you apply signals job-readiness and reduces the credentialing questions employers raise early in the sponsorship conversation.
Target Postings Tied to Fleet Operations
Republic Services hires Repair Technicians at regional maintenance facilities, not just corporate offices. Filter your search by location to identify postings tied to active collection districts, where fleet uptime is critical and hiring managers have more urgency to fill skilled roles.
Clarify Which Visa Pathway Fits Your Profile
Republic Services has sponsored technicians through H-1B, TN, and F-1 OPT pathways. TN is faster for Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying trades. F-1 OPT is time-sensitive, so confirm your authorization window aligns with Republic Services' typical offer-to-start timeline before you apply.
Use Migrate Mate to Surface Active Openings
Repair Technician postings at Republic Services open and close quickly across different service markets. Use Migrate Mate to filter specifically for Republic Services roles that are open to visa sponsorship, so you're targeting current vacancies rather than outdated listings.
Confirm E-Verify Enrollment During Offer Stage
Republic Services participates in E-Verify, which is a federal requirement for verifying work authorization. During the offer stage, ask your recruiter directly whether the specific facility is enrolled, since multi-site employers sometimes process I-9s at the district level rather than nationally.
Understand PERM Timing If You Need a Green Card Path
If your goal is permanent residence through an EB-2 or EB-3 Green Card, the PERM labor certification process through DOL typically takes 12 to 18 months before USCIS even begins reviewing your petition. Raise long-term sponsorship intent with HR during the offer negotiation, not after you've started.

Find Repair Technician at Republic Services JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Republic Services sponsor H-1B visas for Repair Technicians?
Yes, Republic Services has sponsored H-1B visas for Repair Technician roles. H-1B eligibility for this position depends on whether the role qualifies as a specialty occupation under USCIS standards, which can vary based on the specific duties and degree requirements attached to the posting. Candidates should confirm the role's specialty occupation framing with the recruiter before assuming H-1B is the intended pathway.
Which visa types are commonly used for Repair Technician roles at Republic Services?
Republic Services has sponsored Repair Technicians through H-1B, TN, F-1 OPT, F-1 CPT, and employment-based Green Card categories including EB-2 and EB-3. TN is often faster for Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying technical roles. F-1 OPT is common for recent graduates, though the authorization window must align with the employer's hiring timeline.
What qualifications or experience are expected for Repair Technician roles at Republic Services?
Republic Services typically looks for technicians with hands-on experience maintaining or repairing heavy-duty diesel fleet vehicles, including collection trucks and support equipment. ASE certifications are frequently listed as preferred or required. Familiarity with hydraulic systems, compressed natural gas engines, or preventive maintenance programs strengthens your application for roles in their fleet maintenance operations.
How do I apply for Repair Technician jobs at Republic Services?
You can browse and apply for Repair Technician openings at Republic Services through Migrate Mate, which filters specifically for roles open to visa sponsorship. Applications go directly through Republic Services' hiring process. Focus on postings tied to regional maintenance facilities and collection districts, where technical vacancies tend to be most active and where hiring decisions move faster.
How do I plan my timeline if Republic Services is processing my visa sponsorship?
Timeline depends on which visa pathway applies. F-1 OPT authorization is tied to your program end date, so you need an offer with enough lead time before your authorization expires. H-1B cap-subject petitions follow USCIS's October 1 fiscal year start. PERM-based Green Card sponsorship through DOL typically takes over a year before reaching USCIS, so starting that conversation early in your employment is essential.
