ABOUT THE COMPANYRepublic 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

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

and helping them achieve their sustainability goals. Our 41,000

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 WasteWe 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

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 SolutionsOur
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 INNOVATIONRepublic'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

portfolio to 115 projects by 2028.RECENT RECOGNITION
