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 Operations Technician Jobs in IdahoOperations Technician Jobs in Idaho: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies sponsor visas for operations technicians in Idaho?
Micron Technology is the most active visa sponsor for operations technicians in Idaho, with its large semiconductor fabrication campus in Boise filing H-1B visa and other work visa petitions regularly. Other potential sponsors include Idaho Power, ON Semiconductor, and larger food and agricultural processing companies in the Twin Falls and Nampa areas. Sponsorship activity concentrates in manufacturing and utilities rather than smaller industrial operations.
Which visa types are most common for operations technician roles in Idaho?
The H-1B is the most common visa for operations technician roles that require a bachelor's degree in engineering, electronics, or a related technical field. Roles that involve hands-on equipment maintenance at the associate degree level may not qualify as a specialty occupation under H-1B standards. TN visas are available to Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying engineering technician categories. Some employers also use the E-3 visa for Australian nationals in qualifying technical roles.
Which cities in Idaho have the most operations technician sponsorship jobs?
Boise and the broader Treasure Valley, including Nampa and Meridian, account for the majority of operations technician sponsorship jobs in Idaho. Micron's semiconductor facilities in Boise drive significant demand for process and equipment technicians. Twin Falls has a secondary cluster tied to food manufacturing and agricultural processing operations. Pocatello and Idaho Falls see occasional sponsorship activity linked to industrial and energy sector employers.
How to find operations technician visa sponsorship jobs in Idaho?
Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically by visa sponsorship availability, making it straightforward to search for operations technician roles in Idaho without manually screening hundreds of postings. You can filter by state and role to surface positions at employers like Micron Technology and others actively sponsoring in the Treasure Valley. Migrate Mate's listings focus on employers who have demonstrated a willingness to support work visa petitions.
What state-specific factors should operations technicians know before pursuing sponsorship in Idaho?
Idaho's operations technician market is closely tied to semiconductor manufacturing, which means employers expect familiarity with cleanroom environments, process control, and equipment maintenance specific to that industry. The state has no income tax on wages in the traditional sense but does levy a personal income tax, which affects take-home pay compared to neighboring Nevada or Washington. Micron's ongoing fab expansion in Boise has increased technician demand, though sponsorship decisions still depend on whether the specific role meets visa program requirements.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored operations technician jobs in Idaho?
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.
