REPUBLIC SERVICES, INC. 10-Q

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. Disclosure Controls and Procedures We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e), and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Based on an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this Form 10-Q identified in connection with that evaluation, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. In March 2023, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Wasteco Holdings Inc. and related subsidiaries. In June 2023, we acquired a vertically-integrated set of operations in Colorado from GFL Environmental Inc. As permitted by the SEC Staff interpretive guidance for newly acquired businesses, management's assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2023 did not include an assessment of internal control over financial reporting as it relates to these acquisitions. We will continue the process of implementing internal controls over financial reporting for these acquired businesses. These businesses contributed approximately 1% of revenue to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. 50 Table of Contents PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
