Republic Services, Inc.
Republic Services, Inc. (RSG) is one of the largest US providers of non-hazardous solid waste collection, transfer, recycling and disposal services. It operates an integrated network of collection routes, recycling centres and landfills serving municipalities and commercial customers. Investors often view Republic as a defensive, service-driven business with relatively stable, recurring cash flows and a history of dividend payments, supported by its scale and route density. Growth drivers include pricing power on contracts, increased recycling and environmental services, and selective acquisitions. Key risks include capital intensity, fuel and labour cost exposure, recycling commodity price volatility and permitting or regulatory hurdles. Republic has increased focus on sustainability initiatives, such as landfill-gas-to-energy and recycling improvements, which may affect long-term prospects but do not guarantee outcomes. This summary is educational only and not personal financial advice; consider your objectives, risk tolerance and seek professional guidance before investing.
