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).

Maintenance Jobs in Idaho: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a maintenance technician in Idaho?
Most Idaho employers hire maintenance technicians who have completed a vocational or trade program in HVAC, electrical, or mechanical systems from a community college such as College of Western Idaho or Eastern Idaho Technical College. Idaho does not require a single universal maintenance license, but specific work like refrigerant handling requires EPA Section 608 certification and electrical work may require an Idaho electrical contractor or journeyman license issued through the Idaho Division of Building Safety.
Which companies hire maintenance technicians in Idaho?
Companies currently hiring maintenances in Idaho include Simplot Company, Walmart, and Bel, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Idaho's food processing, semiconductor manufacturing, and healthcare sectors are among the most consistent sources of full-time maintenance openings in the state.
Which Idaho cities have the most maintenance jobs?
Boise, Kuna, and Paul have the most maintenance job openings in Idaho. Boise's dense mix of healthcare campuses, commercial real estate, and technology firms drives the bulk of demand, while Nampa's food processing plants and Idaho Falls' industrial and energy sector employers account for strong hiring volumes outside the Treasure Valley.
Are there remote maintenance jobs in Idaho?
Yes, but they're rare. Maintenance work is almost entirely hands-on and site-dependent, so fully remote roles are the exception rather than the norm. About 0% of maintenance openings tied to Idaho are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, and those positions typically involve maintenance coordination, scheduling, or facilities management rather than direct repair and upkeep work.
How can I get hired as a maintenance technician in Idaho with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for a maintenance helper or facilities assistant role, which large Idaho employers such as Micron Technology and St. Luke's Health System regularly post alongside their skilled technician openings. Completing a short trade certificate at College of Western Idaho in HVAC or electrical fundamentals makes a candidate significantly more competitive. Candidates coming from adjacent roles in janitorial services, construction labor, or warehouse operations often transition directly into entry-level maintenance positions.
Where can I find and apply to maintenance jobs in Idaho?
You can find and apply to maintenance jobs in Idaho on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience level and location, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
