ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.
AutoNation, Inc., a Delaware corporation formerly known as Republic
Industries, Inc. ("AutoNation"), and AutoNation Insurance Company, Inc., a
Vermont corporation ("ANIC") (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"), hereby
make the following statement pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder with respect to the shares of class A common stock, par value $.01
per share (the "Common Stock"), of Republic Services, Inc., a Delaware
corporation(the "Issuer"). This Statement is an amendment to the Schedule 13D
filed by AutoNation reflecting the reportable event which occurred on July 1,
1998, as amended by Amendment No. 1 as of March 2, 1999, and Amendment No. 2 as
of May 3, 1999 (as so amended, the "Amended 13D"). Except as set forth below,
no amendment is being made hereby to the Amended 13D. Capitalized terms not
defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Amended 13D.
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.
This statement is being filed by (i) ANIC as the direct beneficial
owner of 3,154,380 shares of the Common Stock and (ii) AutoNation by virtue of
it being the indirect owner of all of the outstanding stock of ANIC.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

sole voting and dispositive power with respect to 3,154,380 shares of the Common
Stock, representing approximately 1.8% of the 175,412,500 shares of the Common
Stock issued and outstanding and AutoNation may be deemed to be the indirect
beneficial owner of, and to have sole voting and dispositive power with respect
to such shares by virtue of ANIC being an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
