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 Waste Management & Environmental Services Jobs in MassachusettsWaste Management & Environmental Services Green Card Sponsorship Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions
Which waste management and environmental services companies sponsor Green Card visas in Massachusetts?
Clean Harbors, headquartered in Norwell, MA, is among the most active sponsors in this sector, along with Covanta and U.S. Ecology. Larger environmental consulting firms such as Arcadis, AECOM, and Stantec, which maintain Massachusetts offices, have also filed Green Card petitions for environmental engineers and scientists. Sponsorship activity is highest for roles requiring specialized credentials that are difficult to fill domestically.
Which cities in Massachusetts have the most waste management and environmental services Green Card sponsorship jobs?
Greater Boston, including Cambridge and Quincy, sees the highest concentration of sponsorship roles, driven by environmental consulting firms and state agency contractors. Worcester is a secondary hub with solid waste and remediation employers operating regional facilities. Springfield and the Pioneer Valley have active hazardous materials and industrial waste operations, and port-adjacent communities like Fall River support marine environmental services roles.
What types of waste management and environmental services roles typically qualify for Green Card sponsorship in Massachusetts?
Roles most commonly sponsored include environmental engineers, geotechnical engineers, hazardous materials specialists, environmental scientists, and hydrogeologists. These positions typically qualify because they require at minimum a bachelor's degree in a specific technical field, meeting the specialty occupation standard for EB-2 and EB-3 categories. Operational roles such as equipment operators or general laborers are less commonly sponsored under employment-based Green Card pathways.
How do I find waste management and environmental services Green Card sponsorship jobs in Massachusetts?
Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically by visa sponsorship type and industry, making it straightforward to browse waste management and environmental services roles in Massachusetts where employers are actively offering Green Card sponsorship. Rather than manually vetting employer histories, you can search directly for confirmed sponsorship openings, which is particularly useful in a specialized sector where not every employer participates in the Green Card process.
Are there any Massachusetts-specific considerations for Green Card sponsorship in the waste management and environmental services industry?
Massachusetts has some of the strictest environmental regulations in the country, administered through the Department of Environmental Protection. Employers frequently seek candidates with credentials aligned to MassDEP compliance requirements, which can strengthen a Green Card petition by demonstrating specialized knowledge unavailable domestically. The state's active Superfund and brownfield remediation programs also create sustained demand for sponsored environmental professionals beyond typical market cycles.
What is the prevailing wage for Green Card waste management & environmental services jobs in Massachusetts?
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.
