Republic Services provides environmental services, including curbside collection of waste and recyclables, container supply and rental, transfer and disposal of non-hazardous solid waste, and processing and commodity sales related to recyclables. It makes money through recurring collection revenue plus fees tied to downstream transfer, landfill, and recycling processing activities.
Waste collection is the upstream, recurring activity, and it feeds downstream operations (transfer, landfill, and recycling processing and commodity sales), so volume and routing through the system drive how much revenue the company can generate across multiple parts of the waste chain.
