Basis of Presentation	Jun. 30, 2013
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	BASIS OF PRESENTATION Republic Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries (referred to collectively as Republic, we, us, our, or the company) is the second largest provider of non-hazardous solid waste collection, transfer, recycling and disposal services in the United States, as measured by revenue. We manage and evaluate our operations through three geographic regions — East, Central, and West, which we have identified as our reportable segments. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Republic and its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). We account for investments in entities in which we do not have a controlling financial interest under either the equity method or cost method of accounting, as appropriate. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We have prepared these unaudited consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information related to our organization, significant accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP has been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments that, unless otherwise disclosed, are of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results you can expect for a full year. You should read these financial statements in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. For comparative purposes, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. All dollar amounts in the tabular presentations are in millions, except per share amounts and unless otherwise noted. Management’s Estimates and Assumptions In preparing our financial statements, we make numerous estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. We must make these estimates and assumptions because certain information that we use is dependent on future events, cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from data available or simply cannot be readily calculated based on generally accepted methodologies. In preparing our financial statements, the more critical and subjective areas that deal with the greatest amount of uncertainty relate to our accounting for our long-lived assets, including recoverability, landfill development costs, and final capping, closure and post-closure costs; our valuation allowances for accounts receivable and deferred tax assets; our liabilities for potential litigation, claims and assessments; our liabilities for environmental remediation, employee benefit plans, deferred taxes and uncertain tax positions; our self-insurance reserves; and our estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in any acquisition. Each of these is discussed in more detail in our description of our significant accounting policies in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Our actual results may differ significantly from our estimates. New Accounting Pronouncements In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an Accounting Standards Update to the Comprehensive Income Topic in the Accounting Standards Codifications. This update requires separate presentation of the components that are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes to the financial statements. This update also requires companies to disclose the income statement line items impacted by any significant reclassifications, such as the gains and losses on cash flow hedges and defined benefit pension adjustments. These items are required for both interim and annual reporting for public companies and became effective for Republic beginning with the first quarter 2013 Form 10-Q filing.

Business Acquisitions and Restructuring Charges

BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS AND RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

Acquisitions

We acquired various solid waste businesses during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. The purchase price paid for these acquisitions during those periods and the preliminary allocation of the purchase price as of June 30 are as follows:



	2013			2012
Purchase price:
Cash used in acquisitions, net of cash acquired	$	28.5		$	71.8
Holdbacks	3.4			0.2
Total	31.9			72.0
Allocated as follows:
Working capital	0.9			2.3
Property and equipment	8.1			22.7
Other liabilities, net	(1.8		)	(2.7		)
Value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed	7.2			22.3
Excess purchase price to be allocated	$	24.7		$	49.7
Excess purchase price allocated as follows:
Other intangible assets	$	4.1		$	13.7
Goodwill	20.6			36.0
Total allocated	$	24.7		$	49.7

Substantially all of the goodwill and intangible assets recorded for these acquisitions are deductible for tax purposes. The pro forma effect of these acquisitions, individually and collectively, was not material.

Restructuring Charges

During 2012, we restructured our field and corporate operations to create a more efficient and competitive company. These changes included consolidating our field regions from four to three and our areas from 28 to 20, relocating office space, and reducing administrative staffing levels. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we incurred $7.9 million of restructuring charges, which consisted of severance and other employee termination benefits, relocation benefits, and the closure of offices with lease agreements with non-cancellable terms. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we paid $12.6 million related to these restructuring charges. As of June 30, 2013, $4.3 million remains accrued for severance and other employee termination benefits and lease exit costs. We expect to incur approximately $3.9 million of additional expense during the remainder of 2013 to complete such activities. Substantially all of these charges were or will be recorded in our corporate segment, and we expect the charges will be paid primarily during 2013.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for a business combination (or series of individually immaterial business combinations) completed during the period, including background, timing, and recognized assets and liabilities. The disclosure may include leverage buyout transactions (as applicable).

Self-Insurance Reserves

In general, our self-insurance reserves are recorded on an undiscounted basis. However, the self-insurance liabilities we acquired in the acquisition of Allied Waste Industries, Inc. (Allied) have been recorded at our acquisition date estimate of fair value and, therefore, have been discounted to present value. Discounted reserves are accreted to non-cash interest expense through the period they are paid.

Our liabilities for unpaid and incurred but not reported claims at June 30, 2013 (which include claims for workers’ compensation, general liability, vehicle liability and employee health care benefits) were $438.0 million and are included in other accrued liabilities and self-insurance reserves in our consolidated balance sheets. While the ultimate amount of claims incurred depends on future developments, we believe recorded reserves are adequate to cover the future payment of claims. However, it is possible that recorded reserves may not be adequate to cover the future payment of claims. Adjustments, if any, to estimates recorded resulting from ultimate claim payments are recorded currently in earnings in the periods in which such adjustments are known.

Landfill and Environmental Costs

LANDFILL AND ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS

As of June 30, 2013, we owned or operated 192 active solid waste landfills with total available disposal capacity of approximately 4.9 billion in-place cubic yards. Additionally, we have post-closure responsibility for 128 closed landfills.

Accrued Landfill and Environmental Costs

A summary of landfill and environmental liabilities as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 follows:



	2013			2012
Final capping, closure and post-closure liabilities	$	1,066.3		$	1,052.4
Remediation	639.6			563.7
Total accrued landfill and environmental costs	1,705.9			1,616.1
Less: Current portion	(234.0		)	(195.5		)
Long-term portion	$	1,471.9		$	1,420.6

Final Capping, Closure and Post-Closure Costs

The following table summarizes the activity in our asset retirement obligation liabilities, which include liabilities for final capping, closure and post-closure, for the six months ended June 30:



	2013			2012
Asset retirement obligation liabilities, beginning of year	$	1,052.4		$	1,037.0
Non-cash additions	17.6			17.1
Acquisitions/divestitures and other adjustments	0.1			(1.9		)
Asset retirement obligation adjustments	(0.4		)	8.0
Payments	(41.8		)	(31.3		)
Accretion expense	38.4			39.4
Asset retirement obligation liabilities, end of period	1,066.3			1,068.3
Less: Current portion	(105.4		)	(94.5		)
Long-term portion	$	960.9		$	973.8

Annually, in the fourth quarter, we review, and update as necessary, our estimates of asset retirement obligations. However, if there are significant changes in the facts and circumstances related to a site during the year, we will update our assumptions prospectively in the period that we know all the relevant facts and circumstances.

The fair value of assets that are legally restricted for purposes of collateralizing certain of our final capping, closure and post-closure obligations was $55.3 million and $54.8 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Such assets are included in restricted cash and marketable securities in our consolidated balance sheets.

Landfill Operating Expenses

In the normal course of business, we incur various operating costs associated with environmental compliance. These costs include, among other things, leachate treatment and disposal, methane gas and groundwater monitoring, and systems maintenance, interim cap maintenance, costs associated with the application of daily cover materials, and the legal and administrative costs of ongoing environmental compliance. These costs are expensed as cost of operations in the periods in which they are incurred.

Environmental Remediation Liabilities

We accrue for remediation costs when they become probable and can be reasonably estimated. When there is a range of reasonable estimates of the costs associated with remediation of a site, we use the amount within the range that constitutes our best estimate. If no amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other, we use the amount that is at the low end of the range. It is reasonably possible that we will need to adjust the liabilities recorded for remediation to reflect the effects of new or additional information, to the extent such information impacts the costs, timing or duration of the required actions. If we used the reasonably possible high ends of our ranges, our aggregate potential remediation liability at June 30, 2013 would be approximately $561 million higher than the amounts recorded. Future changes in our estimates of the cost, timing or duration of the required actions could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

The following table summarizes the activity in our environmental remediation liabilities for the six months ended June 30:



	2013			2012
Remediation liabilities, beginning of year	$	563.7		$	543.7
Remediation adjustments	113.9			(11.3		)
Payments	(51.3		)	(28.5		)
Accretion expense (non-cash interest expense)	13.3			16.1
Remediation liabilities, end of period	639.6			520.0
Less: Current portion	(128.6		)	(86.8		)
Long-term portion	$	511.0		$	433.2

The following is a discussion of certain of our significant remediation matters:

Bridgeton Landfill. In June 2013, we recorded an environmental remediation charge at our closed Bridgeton Landfill in Missouri in the amount of $108.7 million to manage the remediation area and monitor the site. As of June 30, 2013, the remediation liability recorded for this site is $143.4 million, of which $64.5 million is expected to be paid during the next twelve months. We believe the remaining reasonably possible range of loss for remediation costs is $112 million to $392 million.

Countywide Landfill. In September 2009, Republic Services of Ohio II, LLC entered into Final Findings and Orders with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency that require us to implement a comprehensive operation and maintenance program to manage the remediation area at the Countywide Recycling and Disposal Facility. The remediation liability for this site recorded as of June 30, 2013 is $51.0 million, of which $4.0 million is expected to be paid during the next twelve months. We believe the remaining reasonably possible range of loss for remediation costs is $48 million to $70 million.

Congress Landfill. In August 2010, Congress Development Company agreed with the State of Illinois to have a Final Consent Order entered by the Circuit Court of Illinois, Cook County. Pursuant to the this order, we have agreed to continue to implement certain remedial activities at this site. The remediation liability for this site recorded as of June 30, 2013 is $83.8 million, of which $8.6 million is expected to be paid during the next twelve months. We believe the remaining reasonably possible range of loss for remediation costs is $54 million to $154 million.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we refinanced certain of our tax-exempt financings, resulting in a $2.1 million non-cash write-off of deferred issuance costs.

Credit Facilities

In May 2012, we amended and restated our $1.25 billion unsecured revolving credit facility due September 2013 (the Amended and Restated Credit Facility) to extend the maturity to May 2017. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility includes a feature that allows us to increase availability, at our option, by an aggregate amount up to $500 million through increased commitments from existing lenders or the addition of new lenders. At our option, borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility bear interest at a Base Rate, or a Eurodollar Rate, plus an applicable margin based on our Debt Ratings (all as defined in the agreements).

Contemporaneous with the execution of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to our existing $1.25 billion unsecured credit facility (the Existing Credit Facility and, together with the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, the Credit Facilities) to reduce the commitments under the Existing Credit Facility to $1.0 billion and conform certain terms of the Existing Credit Facility to those of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility. Amendment No. 1 does not extend the maturity date under the Existing Credit Facility, which matures in April 2016.

In connection with entering into the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and Amendment No. 1 to the Existing Facility, the guarantees by our subsidiary guarantors of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and the Existing Credit Facility were released. As a result, the guarantees by our subsidiary guarantors of all of Republic's outstanding senior notes were automatically released. In addition, the guarantees by all of our subsidiary guarantors (other than Allied Waste Industries, Inc. and Allied Waste North America, Inc.) of the 9.250% debentures and the 7.400% debentures issued by our subsidiary Browning-Ferris Industries, LLC (successor to Browning-Ferris Industries, Inc.) also were automatically released.

Our Credit Facilities are subject to facility fees based on applicable rates defined in the agreements and the aggregate commitments, regardless of usage. Availability under our Credit Facilities can be used for working capital, capital expenditures, letters of credit and other general corporate purposes. The agreements governing our Credit Facilities require us to comply with certain financial and other covenants. We may pay dividends and repurchase common stock if we are in compliance with these covenants. As of June 30, 2013, we had no borrowings under our Credit Facilities. As of December 31, 2012, we had $25.0 million of Eurodollar Rate borrowings at an interest rate of 1.32%. We had $701.7 million and $909.4 million of letters of credit using availability under our Credit Facilities, leaving $1,548.3 million and $1,315.6 million of availability under our Credit Facilities at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

In March 2012, we entered into a new $75.0 million uncommitted, unsecured credit facility agreement (the Uncommitted Credit Facility) bearing interest at LIBOR, plus an applicable margin. In July 2012, we amended the Uncommitted Credit Facility to increase the size to $125.0 million, with all other terms remaining unchanged. Our Uncommitted Credit Facility also is subject to facility fees defined in the agreement, regardless of usage. We can use borrowings under the Uncommitted Credit Facility for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The agreements governing our Uncommitted Credit Facility require us to comply with certain covenants. The Uncommitted Credit Facility may be terminated by either party at any time. As of June 30, 2013, we had no borrowings under our Uncommitted Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2012, we had $13.9 million of LIBOR borrowings.

Tax-Exempt Financings

As of June 30, 2013, approximately 85% of our tax-exempt financings are remarketed quarterly, weekly or daily by remarketing agents to effectively maintain a variable yield. Certain of these variable rate tax-exempt financings are credit enhanced with letters of credit having terms in excess of one year issued by banks with investment grade credit ratings. The holders of the bonds can put them back to the remarketing agents at the end of each interest period. To date, the remarketing agents have been able to remarket our variable rate unsecured tax-exempt bonds. These bonds have been classified as long term because of our ability and intent to refinance them using availability under our revolving Credit Facilities, if necessary.

Other Debt

Other debt includes capital lease liabilities of $87.9 million and $87.0 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, with maturities ranging from 2013 to 2046.

Fair Value of Debt

The fair value of our fixed rate senior notes was $6.5 billion and $6.9 billion at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The carrying value of our fixed rate senior notes was $5.8 billion and $5.8 billion at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The carrying amounts of our remaining notes payable and tax-exempt financings approximate fair value because interest rates are variable and, accordingly, approximate current market rates for instruments with similar risk and maturities. The fair value of our debt, using significant observable market inputs (Level 2), is determined as of the balance sheet date and is subject to change.

Guarantees

We have guaranteed some of the tax-exempt financings of our subsidiaries. If a subsidiary fails to meet its obligations associated with tax-exempt bonds as they come due, we will be required to perform. No additional liability has been recorded for these guarantees because the underlying obligations are reflected in our consolidated balance sheets.

Interest Rate Swap and Lock Agreements

From time to time, we enter into treasury and interest rate locks to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates in anticipation of future debt issuances. These transactions are accounted for as cash flow hedges. As of June 30, 2013 and 2012, no interest rate lock cash flow hedges were outstanding.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the effective portion of the interest rate locks, recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, was $23.9 million and $24.6 million, respectively. The effective portion of the interest rate locks will be amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the life of the issued debt using the effective interest rate method. We expect to amortize $2.5 million over the next twelve months as a yield adjustment of our senior notes.

The effective portion of the interest rate locks amortized as a net increase to interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $1.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for information about short-term and long-term debt arrangements, which includes amounts of borrowings under each line of credit, note payable, commercial paper issue, bonds indenture, debenture issue, own-share lending arrangements and any other contractual agreement to repay funds, and about the underlying arrangements, rationale for a classification as long-term, including repayment terms, interest rates, collateral provided, restrictions on use of assets and activities, whether or not in compliance with debt covenants, and other matters important to users of the financial statements, such as the effects of refinancing and noncompliance with debt covenants.

Income Taxes	6 Months Ended
Income Taxes	Jun. 30, 2013
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	INCOME TAXES We record interim income tax expense based upon our anticipated full year effective income tax rate. Our effective tax rate, exclusive of noncontrolling interests, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was 38.1% and 34.0%, respectively. The effective tax rate, exclusive of noncontrolling interests, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 was 16.3% and 27.2%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was favorably affected by the January 2013 resolution of our 2009-2010 tax years with the IRS appeals division and Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 was favorably affected by a change in estimated non-deductible penalties relating to certain legal settlements and the settlement of Allied's 2004-2008 tax years at the IRS appeals division. Cash paid for income taxes was $116.8 million and $87.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We recognize interest and penalties as incurred within the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of income. As of June 30, 2013, we have accrued a liability for penalties of $0.5 million and a liability for interest (including interest on penalties) of $16.0 million related to our uncertain tax positions. We believe that our recorded liabilities for uncertain tax positions are adequate. However, a significant assessment against us in excess of the liabilities recorded could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will increase or decrease. Gross unrecognized benefits that we expect to settle in the next twelve months are in the range of zero to $10 million. We have deferred tax assets related to state net operating loss carryforwards of a specific Allied subsidiary for which we provide a valuation allowance due to uncertainty surrounding the future utilization of these carryforwards in taxing jurisdictions where the loss carryforwards exist. Prior to the 2008 merger, this subsidiary never reported positive earnings. At June 30, 2013, we have a deferred tax asset for state loss carryforwards of $130.7 million offset by a valuation allowance of $113.8 million. As of June 30, 2013, this subsidiary remains in a cumulative pre-tax loss position. However, this cumulative loss has steadily decreased over the past several quarters. If current trends continue, we expect this entity will no longer be in a cumulative loss position by the end of 2013. When determining the need for a valuation allowance, we consider all positive and negative evidence including recent financial results, scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies. The weight given to the positive and negative evidence is commensurate with the extent such evidence can be objectively verified. As such, it is generally difficult for positive evidence regarding projected future taxable income, exclusive of reversing taxable temporary differences, to outweigh objective negative evidence of recent financial reporting losses. The realization of the company's deferred tax asset for state loss carryforwards ultimately depends upon the existence of sufficient taxable income in the appropriate state taxing jurisdiction in future periods. We continue to analyze the positive and negative evidence in determining the need for a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance could be reduced in a future period if there is sufficient evidence to support a conclusion that it is more likely than not that certain of the state net operating loss carryforwards will be realized. Future changes in our valuation allowance for certain state net operating loss carryforwards could have a material effect on our results of operations in the period recorded.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for income taxes. Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.

	Number of Restricted Stock Units and Shares of Restricted Stock (in thousands)		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Other stock awards at December 31, 2012	905.3		$	27.51
Granted	320.2		30.39
Vested and issued	(99.1	)	27.42
Forfeited	(6.1	)	30.65
Other stock awards at June 30, 2013	1,120.3		$	28.34	0.8	$	38.0
Vested and unissued at June 30, 2013	723.3		$	27.52

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we awarded our non-employee directors 67,500 restricted stock units, which vested immediately. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we awarded 237,721 restricted stock units to executives. In addition, 14,953 restricted stock units were earned as dividend equivalents. The restricted stock units do not carry any voting or dividend rights, except the right to receive additional restricted stock units in lieu of dividends.

The fair value of restricted stock units and restricted stock is based on the closing market price on the date of the grant. The compensation expense related to restricted stock units and restricted stock is amortized ratably over the vesting period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, compensation expense related to restricted stock units and restricted stock totaled $4.2 million and $4.8 million, respectively.

Stockholders' Equity and Earnings per Share

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2013

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]

Stockholders' Equity and Earnings per Share

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

We have had a share repurchase program since November 2010. From November 2010 to June 30, 2013, we repurchased 33.1 million shares of our stock for $960.6 million at a weighted average cost per share of $29.00. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we repurchased 2.0 million shares of our stock for $68.1 million at a weighted average cost per share of $33.86.

We initiated a quarterly cash dividend in July 2003 and have increased it from time to time thereafter. In July 2013, the board of directors approved the quarterly dividend of $0.26 per share. Cash dividends declared were $170.0 million and $161.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of June 30, 2013, we recorded a quarterly dividend payable of $85.1 million to stockholders of record as of July 1, 2013.

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Republic Services, Inc. by the weighted average number of common shares (including restricted stock and vested but unissued restricted stock units) outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the combined weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding, which include, where appropriate, the assumed exercise of employee stock options, unvested restricted stock and unvested restricted stock units. In computing diluted earnings per share, we use the treasury stock method.

Earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 are calculated as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Basic earnings per share:
Net income attributable to Republic Services, Inc.	$	56,300	$	149,200	$	180,900	$	292,100
Weighted average common shares outstanding	362,948		367,886		362,808		369,442
Basic earnings per share	$	0.16	$	0.41	$	0.50	$	0.79
Diluted earnings per share:

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fuel Hedges

We have entered into multiple swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges to mitigate some of our exposure related to changes in diesel fuel prices. The swaps qualified for, and were designated as, effective hedges of changes in the prices of forecasted diesel fuel purchases (fuel hedges).

The following table summarizes our outstanding fuel hedges as of June 30, 2013:



Year	Remaining Gallons Hedged	Weighted Average Contract Price per Gallon
2013	15,060,000	$3.81
2014	27,000,000	3.81
2015	15,000,000	3.73
2016	9,000,000	3.69

If the national U.S. on-highway average price for a gallon of diesel fuel as published by the Department of Energy exceeds the contract price per gallon, we receive the difference between the average price and the contract price (multiplied by the notional gallons) from the counterparty. If the average price is less than the contract price per gallon, we pay the difference to the counter-party.

The fair values of our fuel hedges are determined using standard option valuation models with assumptions about commodity prices being based on those observed in underlying markets (Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy). The aggregated fair values of our outstanding fuel hedges at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were current assets of $1.3 million and $3.1 million and current liabilities of $2.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, and have been recorded in other current assets and other accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets, respectively. The ineffective portions of the changes in fair values resulted in (losses) gains of less than $0.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and have been recorded in other income (expense), net in our consolidated statements of income.

The following table summarizes the impact of our fuel hedges on our comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:



Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships	Amount of Loss Recognized in OCI on Derivatives (Effective Portion)
	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2013			2012
Fuel hedges	$	(3.5	)	$	(11.9	)

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2013			2012
Fuel hedges	$	(2.2	)	$	(4.2	)

Recycling Commodity Hedges

Our revenue from sales of recycling commodities is primarily from sales of old corrugated cardboard (OCC) and old newspaper (ONP). We use derivative instruments such as swaps and costless collars designated as cash flow hedges to manage our exposure to changes in prices of these commodities. We have entered into multiple agreements related to forecasted OCC and ONP sales. The agreements qualified for, and were designated as, effective hedges of changes in the prices of certain forecasted recycling commodity sales (commodity hedges).

We entered into costless collar agreements on forecasted sales of OCC and ONP. The agreements involve combining a purchased put option giving us the right to sell OCC and ONP at an established floor strike price with a written call option obligating us to deliver OCC and ONP at an established cap strike price. The puts and calls have the same settlement dates, are net settled in cash on such dates and have the same terms to expiration. The contemporaneous combination of options resulted in no net premium for us and represent costless collars. Under the agreements, we will make or receive no payments as long as the settlement price is between the floor price and cap price. However, if the settlement price is above the cap, we will pay the counterparty an amount equal to the excess of the settlement price over the cap times the monthly volumes hedged. Also, if the settlement price is below the floor, the counterparty will pay us the deficit of the settlement price below the floor times the monthly volumes hedged. The objective of these agreements is to reduce the variability of the cash flows of the forecasted sales of OCC and ONP between two designated strike prices.

The following costless collar hedges were outstanding as of June 30, 2013:



			Weighted Average
Year	Transaction Hedged	Remaining Tons Hedged	Floor Strike Price Per Short Ton	Cap Strike Price Per Short Ton
2013	OCC	129,000	$85	$129
2013	ONP	12,000	65	90
2014	OCC	18,000	85	116

The costless collar hedges are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The fair values of the costless collars are determined using standard option valuation models with assumptions about commodity prices based upon forward commodity price curves in underlying markets (Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy).

The aggregated fair values of the outstanding recycling commodity hedges at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were current assets of $0.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, and current liabilities of $0.9 million and $1.2 million, respectively, and have been recorded in other current assets and other accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets, respectively. The ineffective portions of the changes in fair values resulted in (losses) gains of less than $0.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and have been recorded in other income (expense), net in our consolidated statements of income.

The following table summarizes the impact of our recycling commodity hedges on our comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:



Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships	Amount of Gain (Loss) Recognized in OCI on Derivatives (Effective Portion)
	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2013			2012
Recycling commodity hedges	$	0.4		$	(0.2	)

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2013			2012
Recycling commodity hedges	$	(0.2	)	$	(0.5	)

Fair Value Measurements

In measuring fair values of assets and liabilities, we use valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs (Level 1) and minimize the use of unobservable inputs (Level 3). We also use market data or assumptions that we believe market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk when appropriate.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis include the following:

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting

SEGMENT REPORTING

Our operations are managed and evaluated through three regions: East, Central and West. These three regions are presented below as our reportable segments. The historical results, discussion and presentation of our reportable segments as set forth in our consolidated financial statements for all periods presented reflect the impact of the restructuring of our operations in the fourth quarter of 2012. These reportable segments provide integrated waste management services consisting of collection, transfer, recycling and disposal of non-hazardous solid waste.

Summarized financial information concerning our reportable segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 is shown in the following tables:

Intercompany revenue reflects transactions within and between segments that are generally made on a basis intended to reflect the market value of such services.

Corporate functions include legal, tax, treasury, information technology, risk management, human resources, corporate accounts, closed landfills and other administrative functions. Capital expenditures for corporate entities primarily include vehicle inventory acquired but not yet assigned to operating locations and facilities.

The following table shows our total reported revenue by service line for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (in millions of dollars and as a percentage of revenue):

Other revenue consists primarily of revenue from National Accounts. National Accounts revenue included in other revenue represents the portion of revenue generated from nationwide contracts in markets outside our operating areas where the associated waste handling services are subcontracted to local operators. Consequently, substantially all of this revenue is offset with related subcontract costs which are recorded in cost of operations.

- Definition

Reportable segments include those that meet any of the following quantitative thresholds a) it's reported revenue, including sales to external customers and intersegment sales or transfers is 10 percent or more of the combined revenue, internal and external, of all operating segments b) the absolute amount of its reported profit or loss is 10 percent or more of the greater, in absolute amount of 1) the combined reported profit of all operating segments that did not report a loss or 2) the combined reported loss of all operating segments that did report a loss c) its assets are 10 percent or more of the combined assets of all operating segments.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

General Legal Proceedings

We are subject to extensive and evolving laws and regulations and have implemented safeguards to respond to regulatory requirements. In the normal course of our business, we become involved in legal proceedings. Some of these actions may result in fines, penalties or judgments against us, which may impact earnings and cash flows for a particular period. Although we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of any legal matter with certainty, except as described below, we do not believe the outcome of our pending legal proceedings will have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

As used herein, the term legal proceedings refers to litigation and similar claims against us and our subsidiaries, excluding: (1) ordinary course accidents, general commercial liability and workers compensation claims, which are covered by insurance programs, subject to customary deductibles, and which, together with self-insured employee health care costs, are discussed in Note 5, Other Liabilities; and (2) environmental remediation liabilities, which are discussed in Note 6, Landfill and Environmental Costs.

We accrue for legal proceedings when losses become probable and reasonably estimable. We have recorded an aggregate accrual of approximately $80 million relating to our outstanding legal proceedings as of June 30, 2013, including those described herein and others not specifically identified herein. As of the end of each applicable reporting period, we review each of our legal proceedings and, where it is probable that a liability has been incurred, we accrue for all probable and reasonably estimable losses. Where we are able to reasonably estimate a range of losses we may incur with respect to such a matter, we record an accrual for the amount within the range that constitutes our best estimate. If we are able to reasonably estimate a range but no amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other, we use the amount that is the low end of such range. If we used the high ends of such ranges, our aggregate potential liability would have been approximately $131 million higher than the amount recorded as of June 30, 2013.

Countywide Matters

As is discussed in Note 6, Landfill and Environmental Costs, in September 2009, Republic Services of Ohio II, LLC (Republic-Ohio) entered into Final Findings and Orders with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency that require us to implement a comprehensive operation and maintenance program to manage the remediation area at the Countywide Recycling and Disposal Facility. The remediation liability for the landfill recorded as of June 30, 2013 is $51.0 million, of which $4.0 million is expected to be paid during the next twelve months. We believe the remaining reasonably possible range of loss for remediation costs is $48 million to $70 million.

In a suit filed on October 8, 2008 in the Tuscarawas County Ohio Court of Common Pleas, approximately 700 individuals and businesses located in the area around the Countywide Recycling and Disposal Facility sued Republic Services, Inc. (Republic), Republic Services of Ohio II, LLC (Republic-Ohio), Waste Management, Inc. (WMI) and Waste Management Ohio, Inc. (WMO) for alleged negligence and nuisance. Plaintiffs allege that the landfill has generated odors and other unsafe emissions that have impaired the use and value of their property and may have adverse health effects. A second almost identical lawsuit was filed by approximately 82 plaintiffs on October 13, 2009 in the Tuscarawas County Ohio Court of Common Pleas against Republic, Republic-Ohio, WMI and WMO. The court consolidated the two actions. The relief requested on behalf of each plaintiff in the consolidated action is: (1) an award of compensatory damages according to proof in an amount in excess of $25,000 for each of the three counts of the amended complaint; (2) an award of punitive damages in the amount of two times compensatory damages, pursuant to applicable statute, or in such amount as may be awarded at trial for each of the three counts of the amended complaint; (3) interest on the damages according to law; (4) costs and disbursements of the lawsuit; (5) reasonable fees for attorneys and expert witnesses; and (6) any further relief the court deems just, proper and equitable. As a result of various dismissals of plaintiffs, this case consisted of approximately 600 plaintiffs. Republic, WMI and WMO have been dismissed from the litigation. On July 11, 2013, we finalized a settlement and resolved this case.

Luri Matter

On August 17, 2007, a former employee, Ronald Luri, sued Republic Services, Inc., Republic Services of Ohio Hauling LLC, Republic Services of Ohio I LLC, Jim Bowen and Ron Krall in the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court in Ohio. Plaintiff alleges that he was unlawfully fired in retaliation for refusing to discharge or demote three employees who were all over 50 years old. On July 3, 2008, a jury verdict was awarded against us in the amount of $46.6 million, including $43.1 million in punitive damages. On September 24, 2008, the court awarded pre-judgment interest of $0.3 million and attorney fees and litigation costs of $1.1 million. Post-judgment interest accrued or will accrue at a rate of 8% for 2008, 5% for 2009, 4% for 2010 and 2011, and 3% for 2012 and 2013. We appealed to the Court of Appeals, and on May 19, 2011 the court reduced the punitive damages award to $7.0 million. Plaintiff appealed to the Ohio Supreme Court, challenging the reduction of punitive damages. We cross-appealed, seeking a new trial on the ground that the proceedings in the trial court violated Ohio's punitive damages statute, which requires that the compensatory and punitive damages phases of trial be bifurcated in certain types of cases. On February 15, 2012, in a case called Havel v. Villa St. Joseph, the Ohio Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the bifurcation requirement. On July 3, 2012, the Ohio Supreme Court reversed the judgment against us and remanded the case for application of its decision in Havel. Plaintiff filed a motion for reconsideration/clarification, which the Ohio Supreme Court denied. Plaintiff then filed a motion for additional briefing before the Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals denied the request and remanded the case to the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court for application of Havel.

Congress Development Landfill Matters

Congress Development Co. (CDC) is a general partnership that owns and operates the Congress Landfill. The general partners in CDC are our subsidiary, Allied Waste Transportation, Inc. (Allied Transportation), and an unaffiliated entity, John Sexton Sand & Gravel Corporation (Sexton). Sexton was the operator of the landfill through early 2007, when Allied Transportation took over as the operator. The general partners likely will be jointly and severally liable for the costs associated with the following matters relating to the Congress Landfill.

As is discussed in Note 6, Landfill and Environmental Costs, in August 2010, CDC agreed with the State of Illinois to have a Final Consent Order (Final Order) entered by the Circuit Court of Illinois, Cook County. Pursuant to the Final Order, we have agreed to continue to implement certain remedial activities at the landfill. The remediation liability for the landfill recorded as of June 30, 2013 is $83.8 million, of which $8.6 million is expected to be paid during the next twelve months. We believe the remaining reasonably possible range of loss for remediation costs is $54 million to $154 million.

In a suit originally filed on December 23, 2009 in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois and subsequently amended to add additional plaintiffs, approximately 3,000 plaintiffs sued our subsidiaries Allied Transportation and Allied Waste Industries, Inc. (Allied), CDC and Sexton. The court entered an order dismissing Allied without prejudice on October 26, 2010. The plaintiffs allege bodily injury, property damage and inability to have normal use and enjoyment of property arising from, among other things, odors and other damages arising from landfill gas leaking, and they base their claims on negligence, trespass, and nuisance. On January 6, 2012, the court took plaintiffs' motion for leave to amend their complaint to seek punitive damages under advisement, to be considered on a plaintiff-by-plaintiff basis. The court also granted plaintiffs leave to serve discovery on the punitive damages issue. Following the court's order in our favor striking the plaintiffs' allegations requesting actual damages in excess of $50 million and punitive damages in excess of $50 million, the amount of damages being sought is unspecified. Discovery is ongoing.

Multiemployer Pension Plans

We contribute to 27 multiemployer pension plans under collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) covering union-represented employees. Approximately 20% of our total current employees are participants in such multiemployer plans. These plans generally provide retirement benefits to participants based on their service to contributing employers. We do not administer these plans. In general, these plans are managed by a board of trustees with the unions appointing certain trustees and other contributing employers of the plan appointing certain members. We generally are not represented on the board of trustees.

Under current law regarding multiemployer pension plans, a plan’s termination, and any termination of an employer’s obligation to make contributions, including our voluntary withdrawal (which we consider from time to time) or the mass withdrawal of all contributing employers from any under-funded multiemployer pension plan (each, a Withdrawal Event) would require us to make payments to the plan for our proportionate share of the plan’s unfunded vested liabilities. During the course of operating our business, we incur Withdrawal Events with respect to certain of our multiemployer pension plans. We accrue for such events when losses become probable and reasonably estimable. We cannot assure you that there will not be a Withdrawal Event, where the amounts we would be required to contribute would have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Central States, Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Fund

We have CBAs with local bargaining units of the Teamsters under which we have obligations to contribute to the Central States, Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Fund (the Fund). These CBAs have been under negotiation during 2013. As part of our CBA negotiations, we have withdrawn or proposed to withdraw from the Fund. Withdrawal is only one of the issues in these negotiations, and we do not know what the ultimate outcome of the negotiations in any locale will be. With respect to each CBA, if we do withdraw, this will constitute a Withdrawal Event and will require us to make payments to the Fund for a proportionate share of its unfunded vested liabilities.

In 2012, we withdrew recognition of the Teamsters as the designated representative of our employees in our Danville, Illinois facility and employees in our Dayton, Ohio facility ratified a new CBA that includes a provision terminating our obligation to contribute to the Fund. Each of these actions constituted a Withdrawal Event. Based on information provided to us by the Fund, our actuarial calculations and a number of other variable factors including our estimated number of 2013 contribution based units, we estimated our 2012 liability to the Fund associated with these two Withdrawal Events to be approximately $31 million, which we charged to earnings in 2012.

In the first quarter of 2013, employees at three of our locations in Michigan separately ratified new CBAs that no longer provide for participation in the Fund. Each of these actions constituted a Withdrawal Event. Based on information provided to us by the Fund, our actuarial calculations and a number of other variable factors including our estimated number of 2013 contribution based units, we have estimated our liability associated with these three Withdrawal Events will be approximately $58 million, which we charged to earnings during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

In the second quarter of 2013, employees at our locations in Cleveland and Memphis separately ratified new CBAs that no longer provide for participation in the Fund. Each of these actions constituted a Withdrawal Event. Based on information provided to us by the Fund, our actuarial calculations and a number of other variable factors including our estimated number of 2013 contribution based units, we have estimated our liability associated with these Withdrawal Events will be approximately $42 million, which we charged to earnings during the three months ended June 30, 2013.

If we have an additional Withdrawal Event or Events with respect to one or more of the remaining bargaining units, the amount ultimately payable would depend upon a number of variable factors involving valuations and actuarial calculations, and we do not presently know what the result of those calculations and valuations would be. However, based on our current estimates, we believe our additional liability for a complete 2013 withdrawal from the Fund would be approximately $33 million. In the future, a loss may become probable, at which time or times we will incur an expense that will reduce earnings. Any such expense may be material to our results of operations in the period or periods incurred. The liability associated with any such expense or expenses ordinarily would be due in installments over a period of 20 years, and the payments are unlikely to be material to our cash flow in any particular period.

In July 2013, we reached tentative agreements with union representatives at certain of the remaining bargaining units for new CBAs that no longer provide for participation in the Fund. On July 22, 2013, one of these bargaining unit's membership ratified the new agreement, thereby constituting a Withdrawal Event. In connection with this event, we estimate our withdrawal liability will be approximately $12 million, which we will recognize as a charge to earnings during the three months ended September 30, 2013. We estimate that our share of the withdrawal liability for the remaining bargaining units is approximately $21 million. It is reasonably possible that our continued negotiations may result in a complete 2013 withdrawal from the Fund during the second half of 2013.

Regarding all our withdrawal estimates, we will continue to obtain additional information from the Fund regarding the estimated costs associated with withdrawal. Due to the inherent judgments and estimates regarding the Withdrawal Events a change to these estimates is possible.

For additional discussion and detail regarding multiemployer pension plans, see Note 11, Employee Benefit Plans, to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Management's Estimates and Assumptions	Management’s Estimates and Assumptions In preparing our financial statements, we make numerous estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. We must make these estimates and assumptions because certain information that we use is dependent on future events, cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from data available or simply cannot be readily calculated based on generally accepted methodologies. In preparing our financial statements, the more critical and subjective areas that deal with the greatest amount of uncertainty relate to our accounting for our long-lived assets, including recoverability, landfill development costs, and final capping, closure and post-closure costs; our valuation allowances for accounts receivable and deferred tax assets; our liabilities for potential litigation, claims and assessments; our liabilities for environmental remediation, employee benefit plans, deferred taxes and uncertain tax positions; our self-insurance reserves; and our estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in any acquisition. Each of these is discussed in more detail in our description of our significant accounting policies in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Our actual results may differ significantly from our estimates.
