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 H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Diesel Service Technician
Document your diesel credentials precisely
H-1B eligibility for technician roles hinges on proving specialty occupation. Gather ASE certifications, OEM training records, and any associate or bachelor's degree transcripts. A credential evaluation showing equivalency to a U.S. degree strengthens the petition significantly.
Use O*NET to frame your specialty occupation
USCIS scrutinizes whether Diesel Service Technician roles meet specialty occupation standards. Pull the O*NET profile for SOC 49-3031 to identify the degree requirements USCIS reviewers reference, then align your job description and credentials to that language.
Target fleet operators with E-Verify enrollment
Large trucking fleets, transit authorities, and construction equipment companies are more likely to have existing H-1B infrastructure. Employers enrolled in E-Verify signal compliance readiness, which correlates with willingness to navigate sponsorship paperwork for skilled technicians.
Search verified H-1B sponsors on Migrate Mate
Filter Diesel Service Technician openings by employers with confirmed H-1B LCA filing history. Migrate Mate surfaces DOL Labor Condition Application data by occupation code, so you target companies that have already sponsored comparable roles rather than guessing.
Negotiate offer timing around the cap deadline
USCIS accepts H-1B registrations in March for an October 1 start. If an employer extends an offer after April, your earliest possible start is the following fiscal year. Time your job search to land an offer by February so your employer can register you during the window.
Verify the prevailing wage before signing an offer
Your employer must certify in the LCA that your offered wage meets the DOL prevailing wage for your worksite location and job level. Run the OFLC Wage Search for SOC 49-3031 at your specific metropolitan area before accepting an offer to confirm compliance.
H-1B Visa Diesel Service Technician: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Diesel Service Technician role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
It depends on how the position is defined. USCIS requires that the role normally requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific technical field. Technician roles that require only vocational training or an associate degree may not qualify. Employers strengthen the case by documenting that the position demands theoretical and practical application of highly specialized knowledge, typically supported by the O*NET profile for SOC 49-3031.
Which types of employers are most likely to sponsor H-1B visas for diesel technicians?
Large fleet operators, transit agencies, construction equipment companies, and OEM dealerships with dedicated service departments are the most common sponsors. These employers have HR and legal infrastructure to handle sponsorship. Migrate Mate lets you filter Diesel Service Technician openings by employers with confirmed LCA filing history, so you can focus outreach on companies that have already navigated the process.
What happens to my H-1B status if my employer terminates me before the visa expires?
USCIS provides a 60-day grace period after termination for H-1B holders to find a new employer, change status, or depart the U.S. Your new employer must file an H-1B transfer petition before the grace period ends for your authorization to continue. The 60-day window is fixed and doesn't extend if the job search takes longer.
Can my employer file outside the H-1B cap for a diesel technician role?
Cap-exempt filings are limited to employers such as universities, nonprofit research organizations, and government research institutions. A private fleet operator or dealership is almost always cap-subject, meaning your petition must enter the annual lottery. If selected, your earliest start date is October 1 of that fiscal year, so offer timing relative to the March registration window matters.
What DOL prevailing wage level applies to my Diesel Service Technician role?
DOL assigns four wage levels based on experience and complexity of duties. Entry-level technician roles typically fall at Level I or II, while lead or master technicians with supervisory responsibilities may qualify for Level III or IV. Your employer selects the level when filing the LCA, and that selection determines the minimum certified wage. Run the OFLC Wage Search for SOC 49-3031 at your worksite's metropolitan area to see the current figures before your employer files.
