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.

Align Your Experience to Environmental Sales
Republic Services looks for Sales Business Development candidates who understand B2B solution selling in regulated industries. Frame prior experience around contract negotiations, recurring revenue accounts, or industrial service sales rather than consumer or retail backgrounds.
Verify Your Status Covers the Hiring Timeline
Republic Services operates on standard corporate hiring cycles. If you're on F-1 OPT, confirm your authorization end date gives enough runway for onboarding and, if needed, an H-1B cap filing the following April.
Target Markets Where Republic Services Is Expanding
Sales Business Development hiring tends to cluster around regions where Republic Services is growing through acquisitions or municipal contract renewals. Research their recent service area expansions to identify which district offices are actively adding revenue-generating roles.
Ask About Sponsorship Before the Offer Stage
Republic Services routes sponsorship decisions through HR and legal before extending offers. Raise your visa status early in the recruiter screen so the hiring manager loop isn't delayed by internal approval processes that can add weeks to your timeline.
Use Migrate Mate to Surface Open Roles by Location
Republic Services posts Sales Business Development openings across dozens of markets simultaneously. Use Migrate Mate to filter their active listings by location and sponsorship type so you can target the markets with the highest hiring velocity first.
Understand How PERM Fits a Sales Career Path
If you're targeting long-term U.S. residency, confirm whether Republic Services has filed PERM-based Green Card petitions for business development roles. Sales positions can qualify under EB-2 or EB-3 when the job requirements and your credentials align with DOL prevailing wage standards.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Republic Services sponsor H-1B visas for Sales Business Developments?
Yes, Republic Services has sponsored H-1B visas for Sales Business Development roles. Sponsorship decisions are made on a case-by-case basis through their HR and legal teams. Candidates with direct B2B sales experience in waste management, environmental services, or related regulated industries tend to have the strongest standing when requesting sponsorship consideration.
How do I apply for Sales Business Development jobs at Republic Services?
You can apply directly through the Republic Services careers portal or browse their current Sales Business Development openings on Migrate Mate, which filters listings by visa sponsorship eligibility. When applying, address your visa status upfront in your recruiter screen rather than waiting for the offer stage, since Republic Services routes sponsorship approvals through a separate internal process that takes time.
Which visa types does Republic Services commonly use for Sales Business Development roles?
Republic Services has sponsored H-1B, TN visa, F-1 OPT, F-1 CPT, and employment-based Green Card petitions including EB-2 and EB-3 for qualifying roles. TN visas are a practical option for Canadian and Mexican nationals with relevant degrees, since they don't require USCIS petition approval and can be processed at the border. H-1B remains the primary pathway for most other nationalities.
What qualifications does Republic Services expect for Sales Business Development roles?
Republic Services generally expects candidates to have experience in B2B or solution-based selling, preferably in waste management, environmental services, facilities, or industrial services. A bachelor's degree in business, environmental studies, or a related field supports both the hiring case and visa eligibility. Demonstrable experience managing multi-year service contracts or growing recurring revenue accounts strengthens your profile significantly.
How do I time my application around H-1B cap deadlines at Republic Services?
The H-1B cap lottery registration opens each March for an October 1 start date. If you're currently on F-1 OPT or another status, you need your employer to file an H-1B petition by April. That means securing your offer and completing Republic Services' internal sponsorship approval process by late February or early March to meet USCIS deadlines without rushing the legal preparation.
