What is Republic Services and how do you support FM?

Republic Services is a leading environmental services company offering integrated solutions across recycling, solid waste, special waste and hazardous waste treatment and disposal. We also offer field and industrial services, 24/7 emergency response and equipment rental and cleaning. We serve facilities of all sizes — from office buildings and campuses to manufacturing and logistics centers. For FMs, we provide dependable service, right-sized programs, and strategic support to reduce costs, streamline operations, and meet sustainability goals. Our Environmental and Sustainability Solutions teams work closely with customers to manage complex waste streams while improving environmental outcomes. 

What are Environmental and Sustainability Solutions, and why do they matter to FMs?

Republic Services’ Environmental Solutions group manages complex, hazardous and non-hazardous industrial waste, field services and emergency response — helping FMs stay compliant and minimize risk. Our Sustainability Solutions team partners with organizations to improve diversion, reduce landfill reliance and align with goals or corporate sustainability targets. Together, these services offer a full-spectrum approach to waste and environmental management, designed to support operational excellence and sustainability performance across your facility or portfolio.

How can you help FMs with compliance and reporting?

We simplify compliance and sustainability reporting through standardized data, facility-level insights, and customized dashboards. Whether you’re meeting regulatory mandates, pursuing TRUE or LEED certifications, or supporting corporate disclosures, we provide the documentation and performance metrics you need. Our Sustainability Solutions team ensures you have the tools to track, benchmark and communicate progress with confidence. 

How is Republic Services driving sustainability through its own operations?

Republic Services is deeply committed to sustainability across our national operations. We’ve launched Polymer Centers to help close the loop on plastic recycling, converting recovered materials into high-quality recycled content. We're investing in a growing fleet of electric collection vehicles (EVs) to reduce emissions in our communities. Additionally, our landfill gas-to-energy projects turn waste byproducts into renewable energy that powers homes and businesses. When you work with us, you’re partnering with a company that’s driving change from the inside out. 

What services are most useful to FM and property professionals?

FMs benefit most from services like:

• Service optimization and container right-sizing

• Environmental compliance for industrial waste and field services

• Waste audits and material flow analysis

• Diversion tracking and benchmarking

• Sustainability road mapping and certification support

These offerings are tailored to reduce operational friction, improve environmental performance and support long-term strategic planning.
