Updated . Every figure is copied from a Republic Services job posting. This site is not affiliated with Republic Services.
Republic Services pay for CDL drivers ran from $18.30 to $40.58 in the 38 current driver postings we read on October 26, 2026, and the rate depends on the yard, the route type and whether the job is union. Across all 100 postings that state pay, the range runs from about $15 for entry laborer and clerk jobs to six-figure ranges for managers.
For comparison, the national median wage for refuse and recyclable material collectors, the federal job group for collection crews and route drivers, was $23.89 an hour ($49,690 a year) in the BLS May 2025 wage survey. Indeed's company page lists a Republic "Driver" figure of $22.25 an hour, but it rests on 5 reported salaries (Indeed, checked October 26, 2026), so the posted ranges below are a firmer guide.
How to read a Republic pay range
79 of the 100 postings use the same wording: "The pay range for this position is $X to $Y* which reflects the minimum wage in multiple jurisdictions. The actual range will depend on the locality in which you are hired." That means the range is a company band for the job, not the offer at one yard. Some of those postings add a separate pay rate for the opening, such as $22.60 for a CDL B driver in Imperial, Calif., inside a $21.35 to $29.37 band. When a posting gives both, the table shows both. Most band postings do not say whether the figures are hourly or annual, so the table leaves the period as posted.
Union yards read differently. The Bellevue, Wash., residential driver postings give a union hourly range of $36.07 to $40.58, and the North Las Vegas driver postings list $36.47 as the union pay scale. To see how a union contract sets these numbers, read our Republic Services and WM strike tracker for Southern California.

Republic pay ranges by job type
The table groups the 100 postings by job title, posted between 2026-10-20 and 2026-10-26. The low end is the first figure in a posting and the high end is the last. Postings whose figures start at $100 or more are salary-style ranges, so they sit in their own rows instead of being mixed with the smaller figures. Many band postings don't name a period, which is why the table doesn't label these as hourly. Medians come straight from the posted numbers.
| Job type | Postings | Lowest low end | Median low end | Median high end | Highest high end |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Republic pay by state and city
Colorado, California and Illinois account for more than half of the postings, so treat thin states with care. This table leaves out the $100-plus salary ranges, so each state row compares like with like.
| State | Postings | Lowest low end | Median low end | Median high end | Highest high end |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CO | 21 | $15.16 | $21.35 | $29.37 | $36.62 |
| IL | 13 | $15.55 | $20.35 | $28.00 | $38.32 |
| CA | 13 | $18.85 | $24.10 | $29.92 | $38.15 |

| WI | 1 | $24.00 | $24.00 | $24.00 | $24.00 |
The cities with the most postings were Fort Collins, CO (11), Commerce City, CO (5), Santa Ana, CA (4), Bellevue, WA (3), North Las Vegas, NV (3), Frederick, MD (3), Beatty, NV (3), Winchester, VA (3).
How many Republic jobs offer a bonus or CDL training?
9 of the 100 postings (9%) name a sign-on bonus. 4 (4%) are driver trainee jobs, where Republic hires you before you hold a CDL. We counted training only when the job title says so. A posting can mention a CDL school deeper in its text, so the real share may be higher, and we haven't confirmed that.
Republic vs WM driver pay
WM's own careers site would not load for our reader on October 26, 2026, so the WM rows below come from WM driver postings republished on job boards. They carry WM's "expected base pay range" wording, and the boards name WM as the employer. These are only five postings from other regions, so read them as examples and not as a national WM rate. In this small sample, WM driver ranges start between $22 and $26.50 an hour, and Republic's median driver low end is $21.63.

Does Republic Services give raises?
At union yards, the contract sets raises. On October 23, 2026, the Teamsters announced that more than 1,900 Republic workers in Southern California, members of Local 396, ratified a new contract (Teamsters). The release did not publish wages or raise amounts, so we don't know what the new scale pays. Non-union postings in the table do not describe a raise schedule. Ask the recruiter how and when pay steps up from the starting rate.
9 postings name a sign-on bonus, from $1,500 to $5,000. In a few Colorado postings the bonus appears only in the job title, and the table marks those.
Republic jobs and pay in California
19 of the postings in the table are in California, including Long Beach and Sun Valley driver openings at a single posted rate ($38.15 and $35.15). Compare them with other haulers in our waste management jobs in California or the California garbage truck driver jobs list. Pay for the same work at other employers is in the garbage truck driver salary and garbage man salary guides.
Methods
On October 26, 2026, we read the 300 newest postings on Republic's Workday careers site and opened each one. We kept a posting only when its text states a dollar figure for the job. We copied the figure as written, kept the period only when the posting names it (per hour, /hr, per year, annually), and did not convert or estimate anything. The summary tables take medians of those posted figures and nothing else. Duplicate requisition IDs were dropped. Two postings suggested to us earlier, R-182741 (Colorado Springs) and R-169170 (Haverhill), no longer appear in Republic's search, so they are not in the table. We plan to refresh the table monthly.
Update log
: first version, 100 postings with stated pay out of 300 read.
: added pay summaries by job type, state and city, bonus and trainee shares, and a WM driver pay comparison.
Republic Services pay questions
How much does Republic Services pay?
Pay varies by job and yard. In 100 current Republic postings that state pay, driver figures ran from $18.30 to $40.58, and salaried supervisor and manager ranges ran into six figures. The BLS median for refuse and recyclable material collectors was $23.89 an hour in May 2025.
What is the Republic Services pay scale?
Most postings (79 of 100 here) show one range per job and say it reflects the minimum wage in multiple jurisdictions, with the actual range set by where you are hired. Union yards post a fixed rate or a union scale instead, such as $36.47 in North Las Vegas and $36.07 to $40.58 an hour in Bellevue, Wash.
Does Republic Services give raises?
Union contracts set raises at union yards. On October 23, 2026, the Teamsters said more than 1,900 Republic workers in Southern California ratified a new contract, but the release did not publish the wage terms. Non-union postings do not describe a raise schedule.
Does Republic Services pay sign-on bonuses?
Some postings do. 9 of the 100 postings in the table name a sign-on bonus, from $1,500 to $5,000. The bonus terms, such as how long you must stay, are set in the offer, so ask before you accept.
