Southeast Texas
Our local Hauling and Landfill offices (BU217), along with our local Energy and Environmental Solutions offices (BU608), teamed up for a toy drive for children of CASA. Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Southeast Texas Inc. is a non-profit service organization that recruits, trains, and supervises a diverse group of community volunteers, appointed by the courts to advocate for abused and neglected children in the pursuit of safe, permanent homes.
“We’re thankful for all of the donations from our employees to make this a special holiday for children in Southeast Texas!” said Bill V., General Manager.
Central Alabama
Thanks to BU240, children in Central Alabama will wake up on Christmas morning with a smile on their faces! The dozens of toys collected were donated to Grace Klein Community and distributed to families who need them. Way to go, team!
Phoenix, Arizona
Every year, teams at HQ take part in Desert Mission’s “Adopt-a-Family” initiative. Republic Services adopted 30 families in the community – surpassing last year’s record! Each team was assigned 1-2 families to shop for and the turnout was incredible. To add even more excitement, there was a friendly competition to see who could decorate the best holiday card for their family. The Recycling/Accounting Services team took home the prize this year, which was an additional gift card for their assigned family. Thanks to all who participated and Happy Holidays!

Our team in Wisconsin (BU325) has been busy making the season brighter for others in their community. Earlier this month, they participated in the Rice Lake holiday parade and also facilitated a Toys for Tots collection drive helping over 100 families provide gifts to their children. Employees also had some fun with an ugly sweater party and potluck for the team! We love this team spirit!
