hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or its registered assigns, the principal sum of Two Hundred
Seventy-Five Million Six Hundred Seventy-Four Thousand ($275,674,000) United States dollars on
March 15, 2035, at the office or agency of the Company referred to below, and to pay interest
thereon from March 21, 2005, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has
been paid or duly provided for, semiannually on March 15 and September 15 in each year, commencing
September 15, 2005 at the rate of 6.086% per annum, in United States dollars, until the principal
hereof is paid or duly provided for. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
comprised of twelve 30-day months.



     The principal amount of the Securities which may be issued is unlimited. The Company may issue
additional senior notes of the same class and series as this Security in one or more tranches from
time to time without notice to or the consent of the existing holders of the Securities. These
additional senior notes are referred to in this Security as the “Additional Securities” and all
references to the Securities in this Security or in the Indenture shall include the Additional
Securities. The Additional Securities shall vote as a class with all other Securities as to matters
as to which such Securities have a vote.



     The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment
Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or any
Predecessor Security) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such
interest, which shall be the March 1 or September 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case
may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid, or
duly provided for, and interest on such defaulted interest at the interest rate borne by the
Securities, to the extent lawful, shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular
Record Date, and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or any Predecessor
Security) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such
defaulted interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice thereof shall be given to Holders of
Securities not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any
other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the
Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by the Indenture not inconsistent
with the requirements of such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.



     Payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Security, and exchange or
transfer of this Security, will be made at the office or agency of the Company in The City of New
York maintained for such purpose (which initially will be a corporate trust office of the

such other office or agency as may be maintained for such purpose, in such coin or currency of the

private debts; provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company
by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear on the
Security Register.



     Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse
hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at
this place.

REPUBLIC SERVICES, INC.




6.086% Note due 2035




     This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company designated as its
6.086% Notes due 2035 (herein called the “Securities”), limited (except as otherwise provided in
the Indenture referred to below) in aggregate principal amount to $275,674,000, issued under and
subject to the terms of an indenture (herein called the “Indenture”) dated as of August 15, 2001,
among the Company and The Bank of New York, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term
includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), as supplemented by a Second Supplemental
Indenture, dated as of March 21, 2005, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto
reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties,
obligations and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the
Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and
delivered.



     The Securities may be redeemed at any time, at the option of the Company, in whole or in part,
at any time and from time to time, upon not less than 30 and not more than 60 days’ notice to the
Holders thereof as provided in the Indenture, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (1)
100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values
of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the Redemption
Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the
applicable Treasury Rate, plus 25 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued interest to the
Redemption Date (subject to the right of holders of record of such Securities on relevant record
dates to receive interest due on an interest payment date), if any.



     If less than all of the Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select, not more than
60 nor less than 30 days before the Redemption Date, the Securities or portions thereof to be
redeemed on a pro rata basis, by lot or by any other method the Trustee shall deem fair and
appropriate.



     In the case of any redemption or repurchase of Securities in accordance with the Indenture,
interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable
to the Holders of such Securities of record as of the close of business on the relevant Regular
Record Date or Special Record Date referred to on the face hereof. Securities (or portions thereof)
for whose redemption and payment provision is made in accordance with the Indenture shall cease to
bear interest from and after the Redemption Date.



     In the event of redemption or repurchase of this Security in accordance with the Indenture in
part only, a new Security or Securities for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the
name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.



     If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal amount of all the
Securities may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Indenture.

     The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire Indebtedness on
the Securities and (b) certain covenants and Defaults and Events of Default, in each case upon
compliance with certain conditions set forth therein.



     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions (including certain amendments permitted without
the consent of any Holders and certain amendments which require the consent of all the Holders) as
therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders under the Indenture and the Securities at any time by the
Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions
permitting the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities (100%
of the Holders in certain circumstances) at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all
the Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and the
Securities of such series and certain past Defaults and Events of Default under the Indenture and
the Securities and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by or on behalf of the Holder of
this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor
or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.



     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture
shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, or any other obligor on the Securities (in the
event such other obligor is obligated to make payments in respect of the Securities), which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this
Security at the times, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.



     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the
transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security
for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan,
The City of New York, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or its
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities, of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees.



     Securities in certificated form are issuable only in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject
to certain limitations therein set forth, the Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate
principal amount of Securities of a differing authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.



     Except as indicated in the Indenture, no service charge shall be made for any registration of
transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.



     Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the
Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this



7









 







Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security is
overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.



     THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.



     All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture and not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
