Republic Services, Inc. reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2026, revealing a revenue increase of 4.6% to $4.43 billion, compared to $4.24 billion in the same period last year. For the first half of 2026, revenue reached $8.54 billion, up from $8.24 billion in 2025. The company's net income attributable to Republic Services, Inc. was $566 million, or $1.84 per diluted share, for the second quarter, compared to $550 million, or $1.75 per diluted share, in the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net income was $1.09 billion, or $3.54 per diluted share, compared to $1.05 billion, or $3.33 per diluted share, in 2025.
The company experienced a 3.6% increase in revenue for the first half of 2026, driven by a 3.4% rise in average yield, contributions from acquisitions, and increased fuel recovery fees. However, this growth was partially offset by a 1.2% decline in volume and a 0.7% decrease in environmental solutions revenue. The cost of operations also rose, totaling $2.56 billion for the second quarter, up from $2.45 billion in the same quarter of 2025, primarily due to higher labor and fuel costs.
In terms of strategic developments, Republic Services made several acquisitions during the first half of 2026, including a vertically integrated recycling and waste business in Kansas and the equity interests of Robinson Waste Holdings Group in Utah. These acquisitions are part of the company's ongoing strategy to expand its environmental services portfolio. The company also reported a total of 208 active landfills and 389 collection operations across the U.S. and Canada, reflecting its extensive operational footprint.
Operationally, Republic Services reported a total employee headcount of approximately 36,000 as of June 30, 2026. The company continues to focus on enhancing its sustainability initiatives and improving operational efficiency. Looking ahead, Republic Services anticipates revenue for the full year 2026 to be in the range of $17.2 billion to $17.3 billion, with adjusted diluted earnings per share projected between $7.23 and $7.28. The company remains committed to driving profitable growth through pricing strategies, volume growth, and value-creating acquisitions.
