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 waste management and environmental services companies sponsor Green Card visas in Maine?
Casella Waste Systems, headquartered in Vermont but operating extensively across Maine, is among the most active sponsors in the sector. Clean Harbors, U.S. LBM, and several municipal waste authorities in Portland and Bangor have also filed PERM labor certifications for environmental and operations roles. Larger environmental remediation contractors working on Superfund and state-designated cleanup sites in Maine occasionally sponsor qualified engineers and project managers as well.
Which cities in Maine have the most waste management and environmental services Green Card sponsorship jobs?
Portland is Maine's primary hub, with the greatest concentration of environmental services employers, including remediation contractors and solid waste management firms. Bangor serves as a secondary center, particularly for regional waste hauling and transfer station operations. Augusta, as the state capital, offers environmental agency-adjacent roles and consulting positions. Smaller markets like Lewiston and Brunswick occasionally post sponsored positions tied to industrial or municipal waste contracts.
What types of waste management and environmental services roles typically qualify for Green Card sponsorship in Maine?
Roles that commonly qualify include environmental engineers, environmental scientists, hazardous materials specialists, landfill gas project managers, and water and wastewater treatment operators with advanced credentials. Positions requiring a bachelor's degree or higher in environmental science, civil engineering, or a closely related field are most likely to meet the PERM specialty occupation threshold. Field technician and general laborer roles typically do not qualify, as they generally lack the degree requirement.
How do I find waste management and environmental services Green Card sponsorship jobs in Maine?
Migrate Mate lets you filter job listings specifically by visa type and industry, making it straightforward to identify Maine employers in waste management and environmental services that are actively sponsoring Green Cards. Because sponsoring employers must file a PERM application with DOL, Migrate Mate surfaces companies with verified sponsorship history so you're not applying blind. Focusing your search on environmental engineering and remediation roles in Portland and Bangor will return the most relevant results.
Are there state-specific considerations for Green Card sponsorship in Maine's environmental services sector?
Maine has a notably active environmental compliance environment, driven by its extensive coastline, forestry industry, and legacy industrial sites requiring ongoing remediation. The Maine Department of Environmental Protection frequently partners with private contractors, and some of those contractors have sponsored foreign nationals in technical roles. Maine's relatively small labor market means prevailing wage determinations through the OFLC Wage Search may reflect regional rates lower than national averages, which can affect employer cost calculations for PERM sponsorship.
What is the prevailing wage for Green Card waste management & environmental services jobs in Maine?
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.
