Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )A Rule 10b5-1 Plan, dated September 22, 2020 ("Plan"), was established in order to gift shares of Republic Services, Inc. common stock ("Shares") held by a Revocable Trust, whereby Mr. Goebel and his spouse are the Trustees (the Revocable Trust being the "Donor") to a Donor advised fund ("Donee"). In accordance with the terms of the Plan, the amount of Shares gifted by the Donor was determined by dividing the set value of $25,000 worth of Shares by the closing stock price on November 18, 2020 ($99.98), being the trading day prior to the start date of the gift (November 19, 2020). The Donor or Trustees have no further control of the donated Shares to the Donee as of the effective date of the gift (November 19, 2020).This transaction does not involve the 6,929 Shares held directly and beneficially owned by Mr. Goebel.

Reminder: Report on a separate line for each class of securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly.
