Improving RetirementYourYears with Republic Services

Retirement represents a significant shift in life, a time to reflect on past achievements and look forward to new horizons. While many envision retirement as a personal journey, emphasizing relaxation and hobbies, there’s an often-overlooked aspect that can significantly enrich this stage of life—community engagement.

Retirement offers a unique opportunity to invest in community relationships, turning the golden years into a vibrant and fulfilling period. Building relationships within the community creates a network of support and friendship. Community involvement ensures a sense of belonging and provides the assistance of friends when needed.

Republic Services recognizes this and has programs and initiatives that suit and assist retirees. For instance, the company works with the City to host local events, allowing retirees and others to familiarize themselves with recycling and waste services, learn how to use organics and recycling carts, and engage with their neighbors.

Republic Services offers more practical ways to help retirees as well. A cart roll-out service is available to residents 62 or older and those with disabilities who need a hand. Those in need may request cart rollout by stopping by the office at 104 S. First Street, calling (800) 299-4898, or emailing alhambra@republicservices.com to request an application.

Retirement doesn’t have to be a solo journey. Embrace your community and engage in the programs and services available to make this chapter of life fulfilling and dynamic. As you offer your experiences, wisdom, and time to support others, you will also find the connections and assistance you need.

Republic Services enjoys helping residents of all ages learn about their programs and take care of the planet.
