             (Date of Event which Requires Filing of this Statement)

* Although definitive documentation relating to the transfer was previously
executed (December, 1999) and the effective date of such documents is as of
September 17, 1999, issues related to the divorce proceedings between the
Reporting Person and John L. Macdonald have delayed the filing of the definitive
documentation with the appropriate Florida court, which is desirable to ensure
that such documentation is fully effective. The parties intended to file
Schedule 13Ds upon the filing of such documents with the Florida court. Because
of the delays, the above date is the date securities counsel for the parties
agreed to file appropriate Schedule 13Ds, pending resolution of any remaining
issues in the divorce proceedings. It is currently expected that the definitive
documentation will be filed with the Florida court in the near future.

If the filing person has previously filed a statement on Schedule 13G to report
the acquisition which is the subject of this Schedule 13D, and is filing this
schedule because of Rule 13d-1(e), 13d-1(f) or 13d-1(g), check the following box
[ ].

NOTE: Schedules filed in paper format shall include a signed original and five
copies of the schedule, including all exhibits. See Rule 13d-7(b) for other
parties to whom copies are to be sent.

ITEM 1.       SECURITY AND ISSUER. This Schedule relates to the Common Stock,
$.01 par value (the "Common Stock") of JLM Industries, Inc., a Florida
corporation (the "Issuer") whose principal executive offices are located at 8675
Hidden River Parkway, Tampa, Florida 33637.

ITEM 2.       IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

     ITEM 2(a)     This Schedule is being filed by Derry B. Macdonald
                   ("Reporting Person").

     ITEM 2(b)     The address of the Reporting Person is as follows:

                   1047 Royal Pass Road, Tampa, Florida 33602.

     ITEM 2(c)     The principal occupation or employment of the Reporting
                   Person is an individual investor.

     ITEM 2(d)     During the last five years the Reporting Person has
                   not been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding
                   traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

     ITEM 2(e)     During the last five years the Reporting Person has
                   not been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
                   administrative body of competent jurisdiction that
                   resulted in the Reporting Person being subject to a
                   judgment, decree or final order enjoining future
                   violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities
                   subject to, Federal or State securities laws or finding
                   any violation with respect to such.

     ITEM 2.(f)    The Reporting Person is a citizen of the United States.

ITEM 3.       SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

     The Common Stock held by the Reporting Person was acquired from her former
     spouse pursuant to a Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage and Marital
     Settlement Agreement. The Reporting Person used no funds in the
     acquisition.

ITEM 4.       PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

     The Reporting Person holds the Common Stock for investment purposes.

     On or about September 17, 1999, John L. Macdonald and the Reporting Person
     entered into a Marital Settlement Agreement (the "Settlement Agreement")
     pursuant to which the Irrevocable Trust agreed to transfer 1,500,000 shares
     of the Common Stock (the "Transferred Shares") to the Reporting Person.

     Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the shares of the Common Stock
     beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons became subject to a
     Stockholders Voting Agreement, Irrevocable Proxy and Right of First Refusal
     between John L. Macdonald, the Reporting Person, Maxwell Stolzberg as
     Trustee of the Irrevocable Trust and JLM Industries, Inc. (the
     "Stockholders Agreement"). The Stockholders Agreement was incorporated by
     reference into the Settlement Agreement.

     The terms of the Stockholders Agreement provide, among other things, that
     any sale of 5,000 or more shares of the Common Stock by either the
     Reporting Person or John L. Macdonald must first be offered to the other
     parties to the Stockholders Agreement.

     The Stockholders Agreement also provides for the granting of an irrevocable
     proxy by the Reporting Person to John L. Macdonald for the purpose of
     voting all of the shares of the Common Stock owned by the Reporting Person.
     The Stockholders Agreement further

- -----------------------                                             ------------

     provides that all of the parties to the Stockholders Agreement will vote
     shares of the Common Stock registered in their respective names in favor of
     (a) the election of John L. Macdonald as a director of the Issuer; (b) the
     election of such other persons as John L. Macdonald designates for election
     as a director of the issuer, through and including the annual stockholders
     meeting in 2009; and (c) such other matters as John L. Macdonald shall deem
     best to improve the liquidity and marketability of the Common Stock while
     increasing the value and yield of the Common Stock, with due regard for all
     tax consequences.

     The Stockholders Agreement shall continue until the earliest of (a) the day
     immediately preceding the Issuer's 2009 annual stockholders meeting; (b)
     termination of the Stockholders Agreement in writing by the parties; or (c)
     the day John L. Macdonald ceases to be Chairman or Chief Executive Officer
     of the Issuer.

     On or about September 17, 1999, the Circuit Court of the Thirteenth
     Judicial Circuit in and for Hillsborough County, Florida, Family Law
     Division (the "Court"), entered a Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage
     that approved and incorporated the terms of the Settlement Agreement and
     the Stockholders Agreement. Subsequently, the parties executed a definitive
     form of the Stockholders Agreement which is expected to be filed with the
     Court in the near future with the intention of making the definitive
     Stockholders Agreement fully effective as of September 17, 1999.

     At this time, the Reporting Person has no specific plan or proposal to
     acquire or dispose of the Common Stock. Consistent with her investment
     purpose, the Reporting Person at any time and from time to time may acquire
     additional shares of Common Stock or dispose of any or all of the Reporting
     Person's Common Stock depending upon an ongoing evaluation of the
     investment in the Common Stock, prevailing market conditions, other
     investment opportunities, liquidity requirements of the Reporting Person
     and/or other investment considerations. The Reporting Person has made no
     determination regarding a maximum or minimum number of shares of Common
     Stock which she may hold at any point in time.

     The Reporting Person has no present plans or proposals which would relate
     to or result in:

     (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer,
         or the disposition of securities of the Issuer;

     (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
         reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its
         subsidiaries;

     (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any
         of its subsidiaries;

     (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the
         Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term
         of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board;

     (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of
         the Issuer;

     (f) any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate
         structure;

     (g) changes in the Issuer's charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding
         thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of
         the Issuer by any person;

     (h) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a
         national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted
         in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities
         association;

(hereinafter referred to as"JLMI").

      WHEREAS, the Stockholders are the owners in the aggregate of 4,097,108

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein,
the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

proxy relates not only to the election of directors, but to all matters which
require the vote of stockholders.

3. FUTURE CORPORATE POLICY. Without limiting the discretion of JLM, the

this Agreement and has not, prior to the date of this Agreement, executed or
delivered any proxy or entered into any other voting agreement or similar
arrangement other than one which has expired or terminated prior to the date

by hand delivery) prior to 6:00 p.m. Eastern time, the Offerees shall have until
6:00 p.m. Eastern time on the next business day to accept the offer. For any

Section 8(h) below, stating the number of shares of Stock to be purchased. The
closing of the sale shall be on the fifth business day following the day of the

in part) to the extent the offer is not
