Republic Services is one of North America's largest environmental services companies, operating an integrated network of collection, transfer, recycling, and disposal facilities that serves residential, commercial, and industrial customers across the United States and Canada. The company generates revenue through waste collection services (approximately two-thirds of total revenue), disposal at company-owned landfills, hazardous waste treatment, recycling operations, and renewable energy projects sourced from landfill gas. It pursues growth through customer acquisition, price increases, long-term contracts with municipalities and industrial clients, and vertical integration of waste streams to control costs and improve margins, while differentiating itself through digital capabilities, broad service offerings enabling single-provider relationships, and sustainability initiatives aligned with emissions reduction and material recovery goals.
