Welcome to... "Beyond the Blue"

Welcome to “Beyond the Blue” — a place where readers can get a behind-the-scenes glimpse of both the seemingly simple and highly complex aspects of Republic Services. This blog will explore what happens to trash after it leaves your curbside container, how landfills can be a source for renewable energy, our sustainability work with major sporting venues and iconic resorts and hotels, the intricate process of recovering oil from exploration and production waste, configured products and solutions for our customers, as well as tips on how you can be more environmentally responsible in daily life — and so much more. This is a place where you can learn about the people, operations and innovation happening at Republic Services.

Are there career opportunities at Republic? Is the idea of zero waste even possible? Our goal is simple and direct — educate, inform and amuse.
