    That sounds cool. But I work at Republic service recycle And I make $12 an hour and when I asked for a raise they told me to find a new job.

      Unskilled labor earns unskilled pay. Not everyone is worth more than $12/hour.

      Get skills. No one is going to pay $100/hr for sweeping. You have to add value to make value

      Do u pick up trash off the ground? If so then that's why. It's not a professional job that requires skill. Everyone I work with make 20 bucks or more a hour. But we run rock trucks, pushers, dozers, excavators

    This video exposes the insult, shame and sadness of what the US as become over the years, crony capitalism. Why transfer the responsiblility of public services to private corporations? Is that not why US citizens are paying taxes?

      Maybe because of the fact that CEOs are much smarter than politicians?

      7/10 recycle bins in our area go straight to landfill.
      John Vander Ark says they can sell recycle plastic at a premium tho😂

    Remarkable person reading this.. It’s going to get better; all it is a season of opportunity to grow and be better than before. Challenging times are meant to strengthen us, not to break us. Success doesn’t define to what happened to us; it is how we choose to deal with our circumstances. The more you grow and develop as an incredible person as you are, the more things will change for the better. Forgive more (for you), be grateful for even the smallest things (we have it way better than someone else), choose love over ego, choose humility over ego (humility is strength), and finally, invest into new skills so that your future self will thank you. Our lives will change forever the more we grow. Be thankful for the challenges for we know something greater is coming. Love you always - Nathalie ✨❤️

    Republic has a “contract” and a “monopoly” to haul all of Vegas’ trash. In other words we see this douchey little CEO but Tony Soprano negotiates their “contracts”.

    If you’re opportune to find a trader like Mr john darry who’s trading records are well known to be strictly a winning streak for clients around the world, then I consider you lucky like myself couldn’t be more luckier with the increase in fake traders investors who aren’t careful enough might face a loss.

    Anything Bill Gates-owned or BG-funded should be reviewed with extreme scepticism

      We here in California are paying for the trash and pay Republic millions to take it away. Customers pay high prices for weekly pick up and are also penalized $120.00 a month if you throw something in wrong trash bin. Republic is a monopoly in California. I am a senior and hardly make one small bag for a week. Yet monthly price is 80.00.
      They are a mafia company. Of course union owned. I believe Our city officials are getting kick backs for using Republic.
