ABOUT THE COMPANY

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 decarbonisation are helping deliver on our vision to partner with customers to create a more sustainable world.

We serve 13 million customers and operate more than 1,000 locations, including collection and transfer stations, recycling and polymer centres, 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.

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.

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 decarbonisation demonstrate our unique ability to leverage sustainability as a platform for growth. The Republic Services Polymer Centre is the nation’s first integrated plastics recycling facility. These innovative sites process rigid plastics from our recycling centres, 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 Centres to help meet the growing demand for sustainable packaging. We are building a network of Polymer Centres and Blue Polymer facilities across North America. Our customers are increasingly looking for decarbonisation solutions, and we are leveraging our network of landfills to meet that need. Republic is committed to harnessing landfill gas, a natural by‑product 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 baseline year).
