National Volunteer Month: Give Your Time. Make A Difference

April is National Volunteer Month. It is a time to help others and show up for our communities. At Republic Services, serving the communities where we live and work is part of who we are. When we give our time, we make a real difference.

This month, we invite everyone to volunteer. Big or small, every hour matters.

Volunteering is Easy with Our New Portal

We now have a new volunteer portal that makes it simple to get involved.

With the portal, you can:

  • Create your own volunteer event
  • Join an event near you
  • Log your volunteer hours
  • Track the impact you make

Whether you volunteer once or all year long, your time counts. Logging your hours helps us see the good we do together.
