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).

Which companies sponsor visas for CDL-B truck drivers in Georgia?
Georgia-based logistics employers including large distribution centers near Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson corridor, port-adjacent freight operators in Savannah, and regional carriers serving Augusta have filed sponsorship petitions for CDL-B drivers. Sponsorship is more common at established carriers with dedicated HR teams than at small owner-operator firms. Checking employer-level petition history helps identify which companies have an active record of sponsoring this role.
Which visa types realistically apply to CDL-B truck driver roles in Georgia?
CDL-B truck driving does not qualify as a specialty occupation, so H-1B visa, E-3 visa, and H-1B1 visa do not apply. The H-2B visa covers temporary or seasonal non-agricultural work and has been used by employers with documented short-term driver shortages. For permanent positions, EB-3 (unskilled or skilled worker) green card sponsorship via PERM labor certification is the most realistic long-term pathway. TN visa status does not cover this role.
How to find cdl-b truck driver visa sponsorship jobs in Georgia?
Migrate Mate lists Georgia employers with verified sponsorship histories for CDL-B truck driver roles, letting you search by city and filter to companies that have actively filed petitions. This is more direct than sorting through general job postings that rarely disclose sponsorship status upfront. Focus your search on the Atlanta metro, Savannah port area, and logistics corridors along I-16 and I-75 for the highest concentration of openings.
Which cities in Georgia have the most CDL-B truck driver sponsorship jobs?
Atlanta and its surrounding suburbs, particularly Forest Park, College Park, and Doraville near the Hartsfield-Jackson air cargo zone, see the highest volume of CDL-B postings. Savannah ranks second, driven by the Port of Savannah, one of the busiest container ports on the East Coast. Macon, Augusta, and Columbus each host regional distribution operations that periodically post sponsored CDL-B openings.
Are there any Georgia-specific factors CDL-B drivers should know before pursuing sponsorship?
Georgia's commercial driver license requirements align with federal CDL standards, so an international driver holding a valid Class B license from their home country will still need to obtain a Georgia CDL before operating commercially in the state. Employers in Savannah's port logistics sector and Atlanta's cold-chain distribution networks have historically been among the more active sponsors. Having a clean driving record and verifiable experience in similar vehicle classes strengthens any petition.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored cdl-b truck driver jobs in Georgia?
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.
