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 Human Resources Operations Manager Jobs in MichiganHuman Resources Operations Manager Jobs in Michigan: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies sponsor visas for human resources operations managers in Michigan?
Michigan's largest visa-sponsoring employers for HR operations roles include Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Stellantis, Dow Chemical, Kellogg Company, and Henry Ford Health System. These organizations file Labor Condition Applications for HR professionals regularly. Mid-size manufacturers and healthcare networks across the Detroit metro and Grand Rapids areas also sponsor H-1B petitions for experienced HR operations managers with specialized qualifications.
Which visa types realistically fit human resources operations manager roles in Michigan?
Human resources operations manager roles typically qualify as specialty occupations requiring a bachelor's degree in human resources, business administration, or a related field. The H-1B is the most common pathway, granting up to three years of initial status extendable to six, subject to an annual cap and selection process. Australian nationals may qualify for the E-3, and Chilean or Singaporean nationals may qualify for the H-1B1 visa. F-1 students may use OPT to work in the role before pursuing employer-sponsored status. Most HR operations managers also pursue EB-2 or EB-3 employment-based green cards over time.
Which cities in Michigan have the most human resources operations manager sponsorship jobs?
Detroit and its suburbs, including Dearborn, Auburn Hills, and Troy, concentrate the highest volume of HR operations manager sponsorship activity, driven by automotive headquarters and Tier 1 suppliers. Grand Rapids follows closely, with significant hiring across healthcare systems and consumer goods manufacturers. Ann Arbor sees demand from the University of Michigan's affiliated employers and a growing technology sector. Lansing and Kalamazoo offer additional opportunities through state government contractors and pharmaceutical companies.
How to find human resources operations manager visa sponsorship jobs in Michigan?
Migrate Mate lists Michigan employers with verified H-1B and other visa sponsorship history for human resources operations manager roles, so you can focus on companies already familiar with the process. Search by role and location to identify active sponsors in Detroit, Grand Rapids, or Ann Arbor. Filtering for employers with consistent LCA filing history in HR occupations helps narrow the field to organizations that actively support international HR professionals through the sponsorship process.
Are there state-specific factors that affect HR operations manager sponsorship in Michigan?
Michigan's economy is closely tied to automotive manufacturing and healthcare, meaning HR operations managers with experience in those sectors are particularly valued by Michigan sponsors. The state's large public universities, University of Michigan, Michigan State University, and Wayne State University, produce a pipeline of business and HR graduates, some of whom transition from OPT to employer-sponsored status locally. Employers in Michigan's manufacturing corridor tend to have established HR infrastructure and familiarity with LCA compliance, which can simplify the sponsorship process for qualified candidates.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored human resources operations manager jobs in Michigan?
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.
