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 companies sponsor visas for project management specialists in Michigan?
Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Stellantis, and auto supplier networks like Magna International and Lear Corporation are among Michigan's most consistent sponsors for project management specialist roles. Large healthcare systems including Henry Ford Health and Beaumont Health also sponsor, particularly for operations and IT project management positions. Defense contractors such as Leidos with Michigan operations have also filed sponsorships for these roles.
Which visa types are most common for project management specialist roles in Michigan?
The H-1B is the most common visa for project management specialists in Michigan, as the role typically requires a bachelor's degree in business, engineering, or a related field, meeting the specialty occupation threshold. TN visas are an option for Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying management roles. Candidates already holding an L-1 through an intracompany transfer, particularly within global automotive or technology firms, also fill a meaningful share of these positions.
Which cities in Michigan have the most project management specialist sponsorship jobs?
Detroit and its metro suburbs, including Dearborn, Auburn Hills, and Troy, generate the highest volume of project management specialist sponsorship activity, driven by automotive and manufacturing headquarters. Ann Arbor adds significant opportunity through the University of Michigan's affiliated research operations and a growing tech sector. Grand Rapids is a secondary hub, particularly for healthcare and advanced manufacturing project management roles.
How to find project management specialist visa sponsorship jobs in Michigan?
Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically by visa sponsorship availability, so you can search project management specialist roles in Michigan without manually screening each employer. The platform surfaces positions from automotive, manufacturing, healthcare, and technology sectors across Detroit, Ann Arbor, and Grand Rapids. Filtering by role and state together significantly narrows results to employers actively willing to sponsor, which is especially useful given how inconsistently sponsorship is advertised in job postings.
Are there state-specific considerations for project management specialists seeking sponsorship in Michigan?
Michigan's heavy reliance on automotive and advanced manufacturing means project management specialists with engineering or supply chain backgrounds are better positioned for sponsorship than those with purely generalist profiles. The University of Michigan and Michigan State University produce a strong domestic pipeline, so international candidates benefit from differentiating through certifications like PMP or industry-specific experience. Prevailing wage requirements under H-1B rules apply statewide, with rates varying by county and experience level as determined by the Department of Labor.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored project management specialist 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.
