<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Plan provides a select group of management or highly compensated employees and
non-employee directors of Republic and certain of its affiliates with an opportunity to defer a
portion of their compensation (including base salary, bonus, commissions, director fees, amounts
earned under long-term and synergy incentive plans and restricted stock units) on a pre-tax basis.
The Plan also provides for Republic to make special employer contributions to the Plan on behalf of
participants, certain of which contributions are to be made in accordance with a formula set forth
in the Plan. Republic may also credit discretionary contributions to some or all of the Plan
participants. Amounts deferred under the Plan are credited with investment returns based on
measurement funds selected by the Plan participants from among funds selected by the committee that
administers the Plan. Any deferrals of restricted stock units are required to be invested in stock
units which correspond to Republic common stock. The amount of the Company&#146;s obligations under the
Plan (the &#147;<U>Deferred Compensation Obligations</U>&#148;), and the amount of the Deferred Compensation
Obligations payable to any Plan participant under the Plan, will reflect the returns of the
applicable measurement fund.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The amount of compensation deferred under the Plan is based on elections by the Plan
participants, employer contributions and the earnings and losses on the foregoing amounts. The
Deferred Compensation Obligations payable by Republic under the Plan will become due in accordance
with payment elections made by Plan participants in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The
Deferred Compensation Obligations represent the contractual obligations of Republic to pay or
distribute when due to participants in the Plan cash with respect to amounts deferred in accordance
with the terms of the Plan and shares with respect to deferred restricted stock units (which shares
have been registered separately) with respect to the Republic 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (or a
predecessor plan) (the &#147;<U>Stock Incentive Plan</U>&#148;).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Plan participants will not have any ownership interest in any of the amounts deferred or the
measurement funds under the Plan. The right of each participant in the Plan is solely that of a

is not required to set aside assets to be used for payment of the Deferred Compensation Obligations
under the Plan. Payments under the Plan shall be payable solely from the general assets of
Republic (subject to settlement of deferred restricted stock units with shares of Republic common
stock from the Stock Incentive Plan). Neither a participant in the Plan nor any other person will
have any right to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage or otherwise
encumber, transfer, hypothecate, alienate or convey in advance of actual receipt, the amounts, if
any, payable under the Plan or any part thereof. No part of the amounts payable will, prior to
actual payment, be subject to seizure, attachment, garnishment or sequestration for the payment of
any debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by a participant in the Plan or any
other person, be transferable by operation of law in the event of a participant&#146;s or any other

amendment or modification is made and any measurement funds must remain in effect following such
termination. Republic may adopt amendments to the Plan to preserve the intended tax treatment of
the Plan benefits and to comply with the requirements of Section&nbsp;409A of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the &#147;<U>Code</U>&#148;). Republic may also terminate and liquidate the Plan to

statutes referred to below and to Republic&#146;s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Certificate provides that Republic shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by
Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &#147;<U>DGCL</U>&#148;), each person who is
involved in any litigation or other proceeding because such person is or was a Republic director or
officer or was serving at Republic&#146;s request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
enterprise, against all expense (including attorney&#146;s fees), loss or liability reasonably incurred
or suffered in connection therewith. The Certificate provides that a person entitled to
indemnification under the Certificate shall be paid expenses incurred in defending any proceeding
in advance of its final disposition upon Republic&#146;s receipt of an undertaking, by or on behalf of
the director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined that such
director or officer is not entitled to indemnification.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL permits a corporation to indemnify any director or officer of a
corporation against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding
brought by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation,
if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, if he had no reason to believe his conduct was unlawful. In a derivative action (i.e.,
one brought by or on behalf of the corporation), however, indemnification may be made only for
expenses, actually and reasonably incurred by any director or officer in connection with the
defense or settlement of such action or suit, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner
that he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation,
except that no indemnification shall be made if such person shall have been adjudged to be liable
to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court
in which the action or suit was brought shall determine that the defendant is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses despite such adjudication of liability.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant to Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the DGCL, the Certificate eliminates the liability of a
director to Republic or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except for liabilities arising (a)&nbsp;from any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to
Republic or its stockholders, (b)&nbsp;from acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL, or (d)
from any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents filed by Republic Services, Inc. ("
Republic
" or the
"
Registrant
"), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "
Commission
")
pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "
Exchange Act
"), are
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement:
(a) The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009;
(b) The Registrant's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and

(c) The Registrant's Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on January 4, 2010,
January 6, 2010, February 12, 2010, March 1, 2010 (relating to item 8.01 which is filed with the

2010, May 14, 2010, June 28, 2010 and July 29, 2010 (relating to item 8.01 which is filed with the
Commission).
In addition, all documents subsequently filed with the Commission by the Registrant or the
Plan pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered herein have been sold or which
deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference
in this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing such document.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
The Plan provides a select group of management or highly compensated employees and
non-employee directors of Republic and certain of its affiliates with an opportunity to defer a
portion of their compensation (including base salary, bonus, commissions, director fees, amounts
earned under long-term and synergy incentive plans and restricted stock units) on a pre-tax basis.
The Plan also provides for Republic to make special employer contributions to the Plan on behalf of
participants, certain of which contributions are to be made in accordance with a formula set forth
in the Plan. Republic may also credit discretionary contributions to some or all of the Plan
participants. Amounts deferred under the Plan are credited with investment returns based on
measurement funds selected by the Plan participants from among funds selected by the committee that
administers the Plan. Any deferrals of restricted stock units are required to be invested in stock
units which correspond to Republic common stock. The amount of the Company's obligations under the
Plan (the "
Deferred Compensation Obligations
"), and the amount of the Deferred Compensation
Obligations payable to any Plan participant under the Plan, will reflect the returns of the
applicable measurement fund.
The amount of compensation deferred under the Plan is based on elections by the Plan
participants, employer contributions and the earnings and losses on the foregoing amounts. The
Deferred Compensation Obligations payable by Republic under the Plan will become due in accordance
with payment elections made by Plan participants in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The
Deferred Compensation Obligations represent the contractual obligations of Republic to pay or
distribute when due to participants in the Plan cash with respect to amounts deferred in accordance
with the terms of the Plan and shares with respect to deferred restricted stock units (which shares
have been registered separately) with respect to the Republic 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (or a
predecessor plan) (the "
Stock Incentive Plan
").
Plan participants will not have any ownership interest in any of the amounts deferred or the
measurement funds under the Plan. The right of each participant in the Plan is solely that of a
general, unsecured creditor of
Republic with respect to his or her own interest under the Plan. The Plan is unfunded and Republic
is not required to set aside assets to be used for payment of the Deferred Compensation Obligations
under the Plan. Payments under the Plan shall be payable solely from the general assets of
Republic (subject to settlement of deferred restricted stock units with shares of Republic common
stock from the Stock Incentive Plan). Neither a participant in the Plan nor any other person will
have any right to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage or otherwise
encumber, transfer, hypothecate, alienate or convey in advance of actual receipt, the amounts, if
any, payable under the Plan or any part thereof. No part of the amounts payable will, prior to
actual payment, be subject to seizure, attachment, garnishment or sequestration for the payment of
any debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by a participant in the Plan or any
other person, be transferable by operation of law in the event of a participant's or any other
person's bankruptcy or insolvency or be transferable to a spouse as a result of a property
settlement or otherwise.
Any participating employer, including Republic, may amend or modify the Plan in whole or in
part with respect to that employer, provided that no such amendment or modification will be
effective to decrease the value of a Participant's account balance in existence at the time the
amendment or modification is made and any measurement funds must remain in effect following such
termination. Republic may adopt amendments to the Plan to preserve the intended tax treatment of
the Plan benefits and to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "
Code
"). Republic may also terminate and liquidate the Plan to
the extent permitted by Code Section 409A.
Item 5. Interest of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the
statutes referred to below and to Republic's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as
amended (the "
Certificate
"), and Amended and Restated Bylaws.
The Certificate provides that Republic shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "
DGCL
"), each person who is
involved in any litigation or other proceeding because such person is or was a Republic director or
officer or was serving at Republic's request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
enterprise, against all expense (including attorney's fees), loss or liability reasonably incurred
or suffered in connection therewith. The Certificate provides that a person entitled to
indemnification under the Certificate shall be paid expenses incurred in defending any proceeding
in advance of its final disposition upon Republic's receipt of an undertaking, by or on behalf of
the director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined that such
director or officer is not entitled to indemnification.
Section 145 of the DGCL permits a corporation to indemnify any director or officer of a
corporation against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding
brought by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation,
if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, if he had no reason to believe his conduct was unlawful. In a derivative action (i.e.,
one brought by or on behalf of the corporation), however, indemnification may be made only for
expenses, actually and reasonably incurred by any director or officer in connection with the
defense or settlement of such action or suit, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner
that he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation,
except that no indemnification shall be made if such person shall have been adjudged to be liable
to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court
in which the action or suit was brought shall determine that the defendant is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses despite such adjudication of liability.
Pursuant to Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, the Certificate eliminates the liability of a
director to Republic or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except for liabilities arising (a) from any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to
Republic or its stockholders, (b) from acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (d)
from any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Republic may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of Republic or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise. Under an insurance policy maintained by Republic, the directors and officers of
Republic are insured, within the limits and subject to the limitations of the policy, against
certain expenses in connection with the defense of certain claims, actions, suits or proceedings,
and certain liabilities which might be imposed as a result of such claims, actions, suits or
proceedings, which may be brought against them by reason of being or having been such directors or
officers.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
A list of exhibits included as part of this Registration Statement is set forth in the Exhibit
Index which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement;
and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided
,
however
, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above do not apply
if the Registration Statement is on Form S-8 and the information required to be included
in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or
furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being
registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a)
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(a) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in
this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted
to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions of the
Registrant's articles of incorporation, by-laws or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that
in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
