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.

Search Waste Management & Environmental Services Jobs in PennsylvaniaWaste Management & Environmental Services H-1B Sponsorship Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions
Which waste management and environmental services companies sponsor H-1B visas in Pennsylvania?
Several Pennsylvania-based and nationally operating firms have sponsored H-1B workers in this sector. Clean Earth, headquartered in Philadelphia, processes contaminated materials and has filed H-1B petitions for environmental roles. Stericycle operates regulated medical and hazardous waste facilities across the state. Environmental consulting firms such as AECOM, Arcadis, and Tetra Tech maintain Pennsylvania offices and regularly sponsor environmental engineers and scientists through the H-1B program.
Which cities in Pennsylvania have the most waste management and environmental services H-1B sponsorship jobs?
Philadelphia leads in sheer volume, home to corporate offices for several environmental services companies and proximity to major industrial corridors requiring ongoing remediation and compliance work. Pittsburgh follows closely, given its industrial heritage and active brownfield redevelopment projects. Harrisburg attracts positions tied to state regulatory agencies and consulting firms that advise on Pennsylvania DEP compliance. Reading and Allentown also see activity tied to industrial waste management contracts.
What types of waste management and environmental services roles typically qualify for H-1B sponsorship in Pennsylvania?
H-1B sponsorship in this industry is most common for specialty occupation roles requiring at least a bachelor's degree in a specific technical field. Environmental engineers, hydrogeologists, environmental scientists, remediation project managers, and hazardous waste compliance specialists are among the positions that typically meet this standard. Roles focused on data analysis, GIS mapping for contamination tracking, and regulatory permitting also commonly qualify, particularly when the employer can demonstrate a degree requirement for the position.
How do I find waste management and environmental services H-1B sponsorship jobs in Pennsylvania?
Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically by visa type and industry, making it straightforward to browse waste management and environmental services positions in Pennsylvania where employers are open to H-1B sponsorship. Rather than sorting through general job boards where sponsorship status is unclear, Migrate Mate surfaces roles that match your visa situation so you can focus your applications on employers already prepared to sponsor international candidates in this field.
Are there any Pennsylvania-specific considerations for H-1B sponsorship in waste management and environmental services?
Pennsylvania's Department of Environmental Protection enforces some of the more active state-level environmental regulations in the Northeast, which sustains consistent demand for qualified environmental professionals. Many H-1B roles in this sector require familiarity with Pennsylvania DEP permitting processes and federal EPA standards simultaneously. Positions tied to Superfund sites or Act 2 land recycling cleanups often require on-site presence, so employers sponsoring H-1B workers generally expect candidates to be based in-state rather than working remotely.
What is the prevailing wage for H-1B waste management & environmental services jobs in Pennsylvania?
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.
