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).

Search Accounting Associate Jobs in ArizonaAccounting Associate Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies sponsor visas for accounting associates in Arizona?
Large employers with established HR infrastructure are the most consistent sponsors. In Arizona, companies like Honeywell, Banner Health, Freeport-McMoRan, Microchip Technology, and major accounting firms including Deloitte and PricewaterhouseCoopers have filed for work visas on behalf of accounting staff. Smaller regional firms sponsor far less frequently, so focusing on enterprise-level employers and large healthcare or technology organizations improves your chances.
Which visa types are most common for accounting associate roles in Arizona?
The H-1B visa is the most common visa for accounting associates in Arizona, as the role generally qualifies as a specialty occupation requiring a bachelor's degree in accounting or a related field. OPT and STEM OPT extensions are often used by recent graduates from Arizona State University or the University of Arizona as a bridge. Some candidates also enter through the TN visa if they hold Canadian or Mexican citizenship and meet the accountant classification requirements.
Which cities in Arizona have the most accounting associate sponsorship jobs?
Phoenix and Scottsdale account for the large majority of accounting associate sponsorship opportunities in Arizona. Phoenix hosts corporate offices across healthcare, mining, and financial services, while Scottsdale is home to a concentration of professional services firms and technology companies. Tempe, adjacent to Arizona State University, also sees hiring activity tied to the university's large accounting graduate pipeline. Tucson has a smaller but present market, particularly linked to the University of Arizona.
How to find accounting associate visa sponsorship jobs in Arizona?
Migrate Mate is the most direct way to find accounting associate roles in Arizona where employers are actively open to visa sponsorship. The platform filters specifically for sponsorship-eligible positions, saving time compared to sifting through general job listings. When searching, focus on Phoenix and Scottsdale postings from large employers in healthcare, financial services, and technology, as these industries generate the most consistent sponsorship activity for accounting roles in the state.
Are there any Arizona-specific considerations for accounting associates seeking visa sponsorship?
Arizona's prevailing wage requirements under the H-1B program are determined by the Department of Labor based on the Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale and Tucson metropolitan areas, so offered compensation must meet the posted wage level for the specific role and location. International graduates from Arizona State University's W. P. Carey School of Business and the University of Arizona's Eller College of Management benefit from established employer recruiting relationships in-state, which can streamline the sponsorship conversation with local firms.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored accounting associate jobs in Arizona?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
