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 Sales Account Executive Jobs at Republic Services Jobs
Frame Your Sales Experience Around Environmental Services
Republic Services hires for territory-based B2B sales, so tailor your resume to highlight consultative selling, service contract negotiation, or industrial client management. Waste management clients expect reps who understand operational constraints, not just quota attainment.
Research Open Territories Before Your Interview
Republic Services organizes its sales force by region and service area. Knowing which geographic markets have active openings signals genuine interest and helps you target divisions where hiring demand is strongest, improving your odds of a sponsorship-eligible offer.
Clarify Visa Type Eligibility Early in the Process
Republic Services has sponsored H-1B, TN, and F-1 OPT candidates for sales roles. If you are on OPT, confirm your remaining work authorization window aligns with their H-1B filing calendar, since the cap-subject H-1B lottery opens in March for an October 1 start date.
Use Migrate Mate to Surface Active Sponsorship-Eligible Openings
Not every Sales Account Executive posting at Republic Services is open to visa sponsorship. Use Migrate Mate to filter specifically for roles where Republic Services has an active sponsorship history, so you focus your applications on positions with a realistic path to an offer.
Prepare Your Credentials for a Labor Condition Application
For H-1B sponsorship, Republic Services must file a Labor Condition Application with the DOL certifying your offered wage meets prevailing wage standards for your specific metro area. Have your offer letter, job title, and work location confirmed before the LCA process begins to avoid delays.
Understand How PERM Fits a Long-Term Career at Republic Services
If you are targeting permanent residency through EB-2 or EB-3, PERM requires Republic Services to run a supervised recruitment process proving no qualified U.S. workers were available. Starting this conversation at the offer stage rather than years into employment gives the process more runway.

Find Sales Account Executive at Republic Services JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Republic Services sponsor H-1B visas for Sales Account Executives?
Yes, Republic Services has sponsored H-1B visas for Sales Account Executive roles. Because H-1B sponsorship requires the position to qualify as a specialty occupation, your application will be stronger if your background is in business, marketing, or a related field. Sponsorship availability can vary by region and hiring cycle, so confirming sponsorship intent with the recruiter early in the process is the right move.
How do I apply for Sales Account Executive jobs at Republic Services?
You can apply directly through Republic Services' careers portal or browse sponsorship-eligible openings through Migrate Mate, which filters for roles where Republic Services has an active visa sponsorship history. When applying, tailor your resume to B2B sales in environmental or field-services industries. Reference specific service lines like commercial waste, recycling, or industrial collection to signal familiarity with Republic's business model.
Which visa types are commonly used for Sales Account Executive roles at Republic Services?
Republic Services has sponsored H-1B visas for sales roles and has also worked with F-1 OPT and CPT candidates, as well as TN visa holders from Canada and Mexico where the role meets the applicable profession category. For longer-term sponsorship leading to permanent residence, EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card pathways are also part of Republic's sponsorship history for this function.
What qualifications does Republic Services expect for Sales Account Executive candidates needing visa sponsorship?
Republic Services typically looks for candidates with a bachelor's degree in business, marketing, communications, or a related field, combined with demonstrated B2B sales experience. For specialty occupation visa categories like the H-1B, the degree requirement is not just preferred but necessary to support the petition. Experience managing service-based accounts, especially in logistics, facilities, or environmental services, strengthens your candidacy significantly.
How do I plan my timeline if I need H-1B sponsorship for a Sales Account Executive role at Republic Services?
The H-1B cap-subject lottery registration opens in March, with a work start date of October 1 if selected. You need an offer letter in place before registration opens, which means targeting Republic Services Sales Account Executive openings in late 2025 or early 2026 gives you the best window. If you are on F-1 OPT, your OPT period and any available STEM extension must bridge the gap to your H-1B start date.
