2020: A Year of Growth


One of the ways Republic Services grows our business is through mergers and acquisitions. Our business development team looks for strategic and tuck-in acquisitions that leverage our core capabilities and expertise while enhancing and expanding the waste, recycling and environmental services we provide to our customers.

In 2020, we welcomed nearly 800 employees from 19 companies to Republic Services.

“Without the participation of the Field, Area and Corporate teams, the many acquisitions closed would not have been possible or successful. We had several deals that closed on December 31. Because of this, many of our colleagues worked over the holidays and while on PTO, which allowed us to close on schedule and execute a seamless Day 1 transition for our new employees and customers. We could not have done it without our internal partners. On behalf of the entire Business Development Team, we thank all you for your extraordinary efforts over the course of last year in contributing to the growth of Republic Services.” — Mitch H., Director of Acquisitions
