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 2023, Republic’s total company revenue was $14.9 billion, and adjusted EBITDA was $4.4 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 41,000 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 4.6 million people in 2023 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. This innovative site processes 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.
We continue to advance decarbonization at our landfills. As demand for renewable energy continues to grow, we have 70 landfill gas-to-energy projects in operation and plan to expand our portfolio to 115 projects by 2028.

Which companies sponsor visas for industrial electricians in Connecticut?
Connecticut's largest visa-sponsoring employers for industrial electricians include Pratt & Whitney (East Hartford), Electric Boat (Groton), Eversource Energy, and pharmaceutical manufacturers like Pfizer's Connecticut facilities. These companies operate complex industrial facilities requiring licensed electricians and have HR infrastructure experienced with H-2B and H-1B sponsorship for skilled trades. Sponsorship availability depends on each employer's current workforce needs and hiring cycle.
Which visa types are most common for industrial electrician roles in Connecticut?
The H-2B visa is the most common pathway for industrial electricians, covering temporary non-agricultural skilled labor when employers demonstrate no qualified U.S. workers are available. The H-1B applies to industrial electricians in supervisory or engineering-adjacent roles that qualify as specialty occupations. Some employers also use the EB-3 immigrant visa for permanent sponsorship of skilled workers meeting Connecticut's prevailing wage standards.
Which cities in Connecticut have the most industrial electrician sponsorship jobs?
Hartford and its surrounding towns, including East Hartford and Windsor Locks, lead in industrial electrician demand due to aerospace and defense manufacturing concentration. Groton and New London are strong markets tied to Electric Boat's submarine production facilities. Bridgeport and New Haven support demand through utility infrastructure and manufacturing plants. These areas consistently post skilled trades openings with employers who have prior sponsorship experience.
How to find industrial electrician visa sponsorship jobs in Connecticut?
Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically by visa sponsorship eligibility, making it straightforward to find industrial electrician roles in Connecticut where employers are open to sponsoring international candidates. Rather than sorting through general postings, Migrate Mate surfaces positions from manufacturers, utilities, and defense contractors in Connecticut that have confirmed sponsorship intent, saving significant research time for electricians on work visas or seeking sponsorship.
Are there state-specific requirements industrial electricians should know before pursuing Connecticut sponsorship jobs?
Connecticut requires industrial electricians to hold a state-issued electrical license, with journeyman and master designations governed by the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection. International candidates should verify whether their home-country credentials and experience satisfy Connecticut's licensure requirements before or during the sponsorship process. Employers sponsoring under H-2B must also meet Connecticut's prevailing wage obligations as determined by the Department of Labor.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored industrial electrician jobs in Connecticut?
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.
