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).

Mid Level Maintenance Associate Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a mid level maintenance associate job?
Position your existing experience around ownership and results rather than task completion. Highlight specific systems you maintained, problems you diagnosed independently, and any situations where you led a repair or coordinated with other departments. Employers at this level want to see that you can prioritize a work order backlog, work with minimal supervision, and communicate clearly with operations or facilities teams. Certifications in HVAC, electrical, or mechanical systems strengthen your application significantly.
Which companies hire mid level maintenance associates?
Companies hiring mid level maintenance associates right now include Jobot, Tosca, and Walmart, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring tends to come from manufacturing plants, distribution centers, commercial property managers, and healthcare facilities that need reliable technicians who can handle complex repairs without close supervision.
Are there remote mid level maintenance associate jobs?
Yes, though remote options are limited given the hands-on nature of the work. About 2% of mid level maintenance associate openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and these roles typically involve coordination, documentation, or technical support functions rather than direct equipment maintenance. Most openings at this level are fully on-site.
How do I move up to a mid level maintenance associate role?
Moving from entry level into a mid level role comes down to broadening your technical range and demonstrating that you can work without close direction. Focus on gaining hands-on experience with multiple systems, such as plumbing, electrical, and HVAC, rather than staying narrow. Taking on small projects independently, completing a relevant certification, and showing measurable impact, like reducing equipment downtime or completing preventive maintenance on schedule, builds the profile employers look for at this stage.
Which industries hire the most mid level maintenance associates?
Mid Level maintenance associate roles concentrate in Manufacturing, Chemicals & Materials, and Food & Beverage, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive hiring at this level because they operate large physical facilities with continuous equipment demands, creating steady need for technicians who can handle complex repairs and preventive maintenance programs independently.
