Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	Based on a 1 on 1 conversion.
(2)	On 01/03/2017 ("Date of Grant"), each non-Management Director received an annual award of 3,869 Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") pursuant to the Republic Services, Inc.'s ("Company") 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended. The grant was based on a value on the Date of Grant of $220,000, with the number of RSUs calculated based on the closing stock price of the Company's common stock on the Date of Grant ($56.87). The RSUs under this 01/03/2017 grant immediately vest; however, the Director cannot convert any of the RSUs to Company common stock (based on 1 on 1 conversion) until the earlier of the last day of the month in which the three year anniversary of the date of the award occurs (for this grant being 01/31/2020), unless deferred by the Director or the date on which the Director incurs a separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. The Director elected to defer this grant pursuant to the Company's Deferred Compensation Plan.
