Republic Services, Inc. dividend reflects a business built on collecting, processing, and disposing of solid, recyclable, and industrial waste across the United States and Canada. RSG currently yields 1.24%, with trailing twelve-month payments of $2.50 per share paid quarterly, and the next ex-dividend date falls on October 2, 2026. With a beta of 0.397, RSG stock moves far less than the broader market, which suits income investors who prioritize low volatility over a high headline yield.
Republic Services, Inc. pays out 35.5% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). Demand for waste collection, landfill services, and recycling processing is largely non-discretionary, which supports the current payout level. Republic Services, Inc. dividend safety faces its most meaningful pressure from capital-intensive operations, since expanding landfill capacity and processing infrastructure requires ongoing investment that competes with dividend growth.
Republic Services, Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 7.7% per year from 2012 to 2025. The per-share annual dividend grew from $0.91 to $2.365 over that period (2026 data is partial and excluded from the rate calculation). The smallest annual increase in the window was 6.4% in 2020, and the largest was 14.8% in 2025.
| 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 low-volatility income from an essential-services business rather than a high current yield. The yield is low (below 2%) at 1.24%, though that sits modestly above the 5-year average of 1.18%, so the stock is not historically cheap on a yield basis. What RSG offers is a 7.7% annualized dividend growth rate over 13 years paired with a conservative 35.5% payout ratio. The trade-off is straightforward: income today is modest, but the payout has room to keep growing without straining the business.
