Melton will oversee the strategy and execution of Republic Services' Environmental Solutions business in the greater Alaska area, which includes a network of emergency response personnel, service centers and hazardous waste facilities.

'The work we do is essential to keeping Alaska's communities clean and safe, and it's an honor to join a team with such a strong reputation for safety, service and environmental stewardship,' Melton said. 'I look forward to being part the solution to the unique environmental challenges in our region.'

He has led critical initiatives in industries including oil and gas, marine transportation and government agencies. His operational oversight, compliance leadership and data-driven strategies have secured long-term contracts, strengthened response capabilities and delivered measurable results.

Melton holds a master's in organizational management and a bachelor's in environmental studies from New England College, as well as several industry certifications.
