Republic Services, Inc. dividend reflects a business built on essential, recurring services: collecting, transferring, and disposing of non-hazardous solid waste across 41 states. The current yield is 1.15%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $2.50 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is July 2, 2026, with the last payment of $0.625 per share. RSG's beta of 0.405 points to low price volatility, making it a fit for investors who prioritize capital preservation alongside income.
Republic Services, Inc. pays out 34.6% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That low payout leaves meaningful room to sustain and grow the dividend, supported by the company's position in non-hazardous solid waste collection and disposal, a service with recurring residential and commercial demand across a 356-collection-operation network. Republic Services, Inc. dividend safety faces its most direct pressure from commodity price swings, since RSG processes and sells materials like old corrugated containers, aluminum, and glass, and revenue from those sales can fluctuate with market prices.
Republic Services, Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 7.7% per year from 2012 to 2025. The per-share dividend grew from $0.91 to $2.365 over that period (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the rate calculation). The smallest annual increase in the window was 6.4% in 2020, which means even in a weaker year, RSG still delivered a raise above inflation.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +7.4% | $1.91 (2022) | $2.37 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +7.3% | $1.66 (2020) | $2.37 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +7.4% | $1.16 (2015) | $2.37 (2025) |
RSG fits dividend investors who want a low-volatility industrial stock with a growing payout rather than a high current income stream. The yield is low (below 2%) at 1.15%, and that sits above the 5-year average of 0.9%, so the current entry point offers slightly more income than the historical norm. The 34.6% payout ratio leaves the dividend well-covered, and the 7.7% annual growth rate over 13 years means the income stream compounds meaningfully over time. The trade-off is straightforward: investors accept a modest starting yield in exchange for a dividend that has grown at a rate well above inflation, backed by a business rooted in essential waste services.
