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)	The Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") granted on 01/04/2010 vest 25% on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant. 4,597 RSUs, that included accrued dividend equivalents, vested on 01/04/2012 and were paid out in the form of Republic Services, Inc.'s common stock.
(2)	Represents shares of common stock to satisfy the tax liability of the Reporting Person upon the vesting of 4,597 shares under a Restricted Stock Unit award. The fair market value of the exchanged shares was $27.40 (the closing price of Republic Services, Inc.'s common stock on 01/04/2012).
(3)	Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the contingent right to one share of common stock of Republic Services, Inc.
(4)	This Amended Form 4 has been filed to solely correct the number of Restricted Stock Units ("RSU"), that includes accrued dividend equivalents, that remain unvested under the 01/04/2010 RSU award after the 01/04/2012 vesting. The previous number reported was 13,791 RSUs, and the correct number to report is 9,194 RSUs that are subject to future vesting. There are no other changes to the reported transactions as reported in the previous Form 4 filed earlier today (01/06/2012).

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.
