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 CDL Driver Jobs in GeorgiaCDL Driver Jobs in Georgia: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies sponsor visas for CDL drivers in Georgia?
Large national trucking carriers with Georgia operations, including Schneider National, Werner Enterprises, and J.B. Hunt, have histories of sponsoring work authorization for qualified drivers. Regional distribution centers tied to manufacturers and retailers in the Atlanta metro and Savannah port areas also sponsor CDL drivers. Sponsorship is most common at carriers with high-volume freight needs and established HR infrastructure to manage immigration paperwork.
What visa types realistically cover CDL driver roles in Georgia?
CDL driver roles are classified as non-agricultural temporary work, making the H-2B visa the most realistic nonimmigrant option for seasonal or temporary positions. For permanent placement, employers can sponsor drivers through the EB-3 green card category, which covers skilled and unskilled workers. The H-1B visa does not apply because CDL driving is not a specialty occupation requiring a directly related bachelor's degree. TN visa does not cover this role.
Which cities in Georgia have the most CDL driver sponsorship jobs?
Atlanta leads in CDL driver job volume due to its size as a distribution hub and the density of logistics employers around Hartsfield-Jackson. Savannah is a strong secondary market, driven by the Port of Savannah, one of the busiest container ports on the East Coast. Macon, Augusta, and Columbus also see steady demand from regional freight and manufacturing operations that rely on commercial drivers for intrastate and interstate routes.
How to find cdl driver visa sponsorship jobs in Georgia?
Migrate Mate lists CDL driver positions from Georgia employers with verified visa sponsorship history, letting you search by city and filter to roles where sponsorship is confirmed rather than assumed. Focus your search on carriers and logistics companies operating out of Atlanta and Savannah, where freight volume is highest. Reaching out directly to recruiters at large carriers after identifying them on Migrate Mate can also move your application forward faster.
Are there state-specific factors that affect CDL driver sponsorship in Georgia?
Georgia's role as a Southeast freight gateway creates sustained demand that supports employer investment in sponsorship. The Port of Savannah expansion has increased pressure on regional carriers to fill driver seats, which can make some employers more willing to consider sponsorship for qualified international candidates. Georgia also has a Commercial Driver License program aligned with federal FMCSA standards, so drivers with foreign commercial licenses will need to meet Georgia's CDL testing and medical certification requirements before operating commercially.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored cdl 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.
