* Effective July 1, 2009, the Republic Services 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) was merged with and into the Allied Waste 401(k) Plan, and the Plan ceased to exist as a separate plan. The Allied Waste 401(k) Plan was subsequently renamed the Republic Services, Inc. 401(k) Plan. As a result of the merger, interests in the Plan which constituted securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, no longer exist. Therefore, this Form 15 has been filed to suspend the Plan’s duty to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including on Form 11-K.
 
 


 

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Republic Services, Inc. 401(k) Plan, formerly known as the Allied Waste 401(k) Plan (the successor plan, by merger, to the Plan), has caused this certification/notice to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned duly authorized person.
