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 Technician Jobs in Idaho: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a maintenance technician in Idaho?
The most direct path is completing a vocational or technical program at an Idaho institution such as College of Western Idaho, Idaho State University, or Eastern Idaho Technical College, then applying directly to industrial employers. Idaho does not require a statewide maintenance technician license, but electricians must hold an Idaho electrical contractor or journeyman license through the Idaho Division of Building Safety. Earning an EPA 608 certification for refrigerants or a HVAC credential strengthens your application considerably.
Which companies hire maintenance technicians in Idaho?
Companies currently hiring maintenance technicians in Idaho include Simplot Company, Republic Services, and Cintas, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Idaho's food processing and semiconductor industries tend to post the most consistent volume, with large facilities running multiple shifts that create ongoing maintenance staffing needs.
Which Idaho cities have the most maintenance technician jobs?
Boise, Jerome, and Nampa have the most maintenance technician openings in Idaho. Boise drives the largest share because it anchors Idaho's technology manufacturing and healthcare sectors, while Pocatello and Idaho Falls support steady demand through food processing plants, the Idaho National Laboratory, and regional industrial facilities that operate year-round.
Are there remote maintenance technician jobs in Idaho?
Yes, but they're rare. About 0% of maintenance technician openings tied to Idaho are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, which reflects the hands-on nature of the work. The small share of remote or hybrid roles tends to involve maintenance planning, CMMS administration, or technical support coordination rather than direct equipment repair.
How can I get hired as a maintenance technician in Idaho with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is a facilities helper, janitor-technician, or production operator role at a large Idaho employer like Lamb Weston or a regional hospital, where you build hands-on exposure before moving into a technician title. Community college programs at College of Western Idaho and Eastern Idaho Technical College offer certificates that Idaho industrial employers recognize. Earning an EPA 608 refrigerant certification before applying gives candidates with no formal experience a clear credential advantage.
Where can I find and apply to maintenance technician jobs in Idaho?
You can find and apply to maintenance technician jobs in Idaho on Migrate Mate, which lists current Idaho openings across industries. Find roles that fit your experience and location and apply directly to the employer.
