                PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT DATED NOVEMBER 28, 1995 TO
                          PROSPECTUS DATED MAY 1, 1995

          A new management team at a majority-owned subsidiary of WMX
Technologies, Inc. (the "Company"), Waste Management International plc, is 
engaged in a review of operations and management structure at that subsidiary.
Depending on the outcome of this review, which is expected to be completed in
the fourth quarter, the possibility exists that the subsidiary will record a
charge that could be material to its and the Company's results of operations.

          A subsidiary of the Company has been involved in litigation
challenging a municipal zoning ordinance which restricted the height of its New
Milford, Connecticut landfill to a level below that allowed by the permit
previously issued by the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection
("DEP").  Although a lower court had declared the zoning ordinance's height
limitation unconstitutional, the Connecticut Supreme Court reversed that ruling
and remanded the case for further proceedings in the Superior Court in the
judicial district of Litchfield.  On November 8, 1995, the lower court ordered
the Company's subsidiary to apply to the DEP for permission to remove all waste
above the height allowed by the zoning ordinance.  The Company believes that
removal of such waste is an inappropriate remedy and its subsidiary intends to
appeal the most recent ruling.  The Company is unable to predict the outcome of
any appeal or the removal action that may ultimately be required following
further appeals or as a result of the permitting process.  However, if the lower
court order as to removal of the waste is not modified, the subsidiary could
incur substantial costs, which could vary significantly depending upon the
nature of any plan for removing the waste which is eventually approved by
applicable regulatory authorities, the actual volume of waste to be moved and
other currently unforeseeable factors and which could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations in one or
more future periods.
