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 in Scale Operator
Verify your degree meets specialty occupation
Scale Operator roles must require a specific bachelor's degree to qualify as a specialty occupation under H-1B rules. Check the O*NET profile for this occupation to confirm which degree fields USCIS considers directly relevant before applying.
Target industries with consistent LCA filings
Manufacturing, food processing, and freight companies file LCAs for Scale Operators more regularly than other sectors. Focus your search on employers in these industries, since active LCA history signals they already understand H-1B sponsorship requirements.
Search verified sponsors on Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter Scale Operator jobs by employers with confirmed H-1B filing history. This saves time by surfacing only companies that have already navigated DOL certification and USCIS petition requirements for this role type.
Request a prevailing wage confirmation early
Before your employer files the LCA, ask them to run your role's wage level through the OFLC Wage Search. Scale Operator wages vary by region and industry, and a Level I or II determination can affect both your offer and the petition's strength.
Clarify employer E-Verify enrollment before accepting
Your employer must be enrolled in E-Verify to legally employ you on H-1B status. Confirm this during the offer stage, not after signing. Some smaller logistics and agricultural operations aren't enrolled and can't proceed with sponsorship.
Track your 60-day grace period if changing jobs
If your current H-1B employer terminates your role, you have a 60-day grace period to find a new sponsoring employer and file a transfer petition. Scale Operator positions at large distribution or processing facilities often move quickly, so start outreach immediately.
H-1B Visa Scale Operator: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Scale Operator job qualify for H-1B sponsorship?
It depends on how the employer defines the role. H-1B requires the position to be a specialty occupation, meaning it normally requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field. Some Scale Operator roles in quality control, logistics technology, or process engineering are structured this way, while general weighing or compliance roles may not meet the threshold. Review the O*NET profile and confirm the job description before pursuing sponsorship.
What does the H-1B filing process look like for a Scale Operator employer?
The employer starts by obtaining a certified Labor Condition Application from DOL, confirming the wage meets the prevailing rate for your region and industry. They then file Form I-129 with USCIS during the annual cap window each April, or year-round if the employer is cap-exempt. You can't start work until USCIS approves the petition and your status is active.
How do I find Scale Operator jobs at H-1B sponsors?
Use Migrate Mate to search Scale Operator openings filtered by employers with verified H-1B filing history. This surfaces companies that have already filed LCAs for this type of role, which significantly increases the likelihood they'll sponsor again. Applying to employers with no sponsorship track record in this occupation wastes time and risks a delay in your status.
Can a Scale Operator role support an H-1B transfer from a different occupation?
Yes, but the new employer must file a new H-1B petition before you begin work. The transfer doesn't require going through the lottery again if you're already on an approved H-1B, but the role must independently qualify as a specialty occupation. USCIS may issue a Request for Evidence if the Scale Operator title doesn't clearly require a bachelor's degree in a directly related field.
What prevailing wage level typically applies to H-1B Scale Operator positions?
Most H-1B Scale Operator roles fall at wage Level I or II, reflecting entry-level to experienced positions in the occupation. The exact level depends on your duties, industry, and location, and the employer determines this through the OFLC Wage Search before filing the LCA. A mismatch between your actual duties and the certified wage level can trigger a DOL audit, so the job description must accurately reflect your responsibilities.
