When Hurricane Beryl made its way through Houston, many local Republic Services employees found themselves without many basic necessities. The local Area team and the Republic Services Employee Relief Fund stepped in to help bridge the gap.
The Area team provided aid including meals for employees and their families. Thanks to the Employee Relief Fund, employees received gift cards to help with perishables and emergency fuel for generators. There were approximately 1,200 employees who received assistance.
Leadership in the Area said employees were ecstatic and that it helped them in their time of need.
