Republic Services, Inc., incorporated in 1996, is the second largest provider of services in the domestic non-hazardous solid waste industry. Through its subsidiaries, Republic strives to provide reliable non-hazardous solid waste and recycling services safely and sustainably for commercial, industrial, municipal and residential customers.

For several years, Republic Services has partnered on several hiring initiatives and serves on the Board of
Directors for the SBWIB. Several years ago, Republic Services partnered with the SBWIB’s Youth Services Department to shore up teenagers looking to enter the workplace. This partnership provided hands-on
training in the specific area of advanced manufacturing welding.

Republic Services has utilized the many recruitment and business services from the South Bay One-Stop Center in Gardena to build its candidate pool. The One-Stop pre-screens many candidates for Republic’s available positions and has held recruitments to meet their hiring needs.

In September, the SBWIB and One-Stop Center held their first in-person Republic Services recruitment and
hiring event since the pandemic. Fifty job seekers attended and 14 received second interviews on the spot, resulting in multiple jobs offers with several candidates starting soon.
