Driver Phil D. Making a Positive Impact in Community


Republic is proud of the positive impact our employees make in our communities every day. Driver Phil D. recently went above and beyond to help two runaway kids he spotted on his way into work in Sumner, IL. Phil took the time to help the kids and called the police for assistance. “Great work Phil! Thanks for all that you do for Republic and the local community,” said Ben P., General Manager. 

“Phil has been with Republic Services for nearly three years and is a vital part of the team. He assists other Business Units in the Area as an SOS driver and receives adulations wherever he goes. He’s also involved in our Touch-a-Truck activities at local schools and festivals and does a wonderful job interacting with the communities we serve.  Phil has served as a youth wrestling coach and enjoys racing on the weekends.” –  Rusty G., Operations Manager.

Thank you, Phil, for going above and beyond and changing lives through your kindness.
