“Over the past several weeks, leaders and teams across Republic Services have come together to honor and celebrate our veteran employees for their dedicated service to our country. Hearing their stories – from military duty to successful careers in the waste and recycling industry – is a powerful reminder of the resilience, discipline, and commitment they bring to everything they do.
I am deeply proud and truly honored to work alongside these remarkable men and women every day. Their leadership and character strengthen our company and inspire us all.
