TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 8.01 Other Events
During the first
quarter of 2009, Republic Services, Inc. realigned its organizational
structure and reduced the number of its segments from
five to four. Under generally accepted accounting
principles, we are required to reclassify amounts
related to segment reporting on a basis comparable to
our current presentation. We have provided as Exhibit 99.1 to
this Current Report on Form 8-K the following items that were
contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2008, to reflect this change in reportable segments
for all periods presented: Item 1 — Business;
Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; and
Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary
Data. The historical financial
information included herein, in particular, the
overview discussion included in the description of our
Business, the revenue discussion included in our
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations, as well as Note 1, Basis of
Presentation, Note 5,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Net and Note 14,
Segment Reporting, have been revised and updated from
their original presentation in our Form 10-K filed on
March 2, 2009 to reflect our regional realignment
during the first quarter of 2009. This Current Report on
Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and our
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
March 31, 2009. Except to the extent expressly set forth above,
no attempt has been made to update or discuss any other matters in
