In the company’s own words
Republic Services, Inc.

The company maintains an extensive network across the United States and Canada, including 377 collection operations, 255 transfer stations, 79 recycling centers, 207 active landfills, and various specialized treatment and disposal facilities. Republic Services employs approximately 42,000 full-time employees and serves customers through a vertically integrated operating model that captures material streams from collection through final processing or disposal.
The company's business is organized into three primary operating groups. Group 1 focuses on recycling and waste services in western United States markets, Group 2 serves southeastern, midwestern, eastern seaboard and Canadian markets, and Group 3 operates the environmental solutions segment across North America. In 2025, collection services generated approximately 68 percent of total revenue, with residential services representing 18 percent, small-container services 30 percent, and large-container services 19 percent. Transfer and recycling processing services contributed approximately 8 percent of revenue combined, while landfill services accounted for 12 percent. Environmental solutions represented 11 percent of revenue.
