Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

     On August 11, 1998, Waste Connections, Inc. ("WCI") filed a Form 8-K
describing the merger on July 31, 1998, of WCI Acquisition Corporation, a
Nebraska corporation wholly owned by WCI, into Shrader Refuse and Recycling
Service Company ("Shrader"), a Nebraska corporation, and the acquisition by
Shrader of certain real estate used in Shrader's business. Certain financial
statements of Shrader and certain pro forma financial data were not then

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Shrader Refuse and Recycling Service Company
 
     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Shrader Refuse and
Recycling Service Company as of September 30, 1996 and 1997, and the related
statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
 
     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Shrader Refuse and Recycling
Service Company at September 30, 1996 and 1997, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1997
                             (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
              (INFORMATION RELATING TO JUNE 30, 1998 AND THE NINE
               MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1998 IS UNAUDITED.)
 
NOTE A -- ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 1. Organization and Business
 
     Shrader Refuse and Recycling Service Company (the "Company") is a
non-hazardous solid waste services company that provides collection, hauling,
disposal and recycling services to residential and commercial customers in
various counties of Nebraska.
 
     The Company derives a portion of its revenue from exclusive municipal
contracts, of which a significant number will be subject to competitive bidding
at some time in the future. The Company intends to bid on additional municipal
contracts as a means of adding customers. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be the successful bidder to obtain or retain contracts that come up
for competitive bidding.
 
 2. Sale of the Company
 
     On July 31, 1998, the Company's stockholders sold all capital stock of the
Company to Waste Connections, Inc. ("WCI") for cash and common stock of WCI.
 
 3. Interim Financial Information
 
     The unaudited interim financial statements as of June 30, 1998 and for the
nine months ended June 30, 1997 and 1998 have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the nine months ended June 30, 1998 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30,
1998.
 
 4. Use of Estimates
 
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
 5. Cash Equivalents
 
     The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
 
 6. Concentrations of Credit Risk
 
     Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. Credit
risk on accounts receivable is minimized as a result of the large and diverse
nature of the Company's customer base. Credit losses have been within
management's expectations.
 
 7. Marketable Equity Securities
 
     The Company's marketable equity securities are classified as "available for
sale" and stated at market value. Unrealized holding gains and losses on such
securities are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity until
realized.

                          SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1997
                             (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
              (INFORMATION RELATING TO JUNE 30, 1998 AND THE NINE
               MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1998 IS UNAUDITED.)
 
NOTE A -- ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(CONTINUED)
     Gains and losses on the disposition of marketable equity securities are
determined using the first-in, first-out method. Declines in the fair value of
individual securities below their cost that are other than temporary are
recorded as realized losses through a charge to income.
 
 8. Property and Equipment
 
     Property and equipment are stated at cost. Improvements or betterments
which significantly extend the life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures
for maintenance and repair costs are charged to operations as incurred. The cost
of assets retired or otherwise disposed of and the related accumulated
depreciation are eliminated from the accounts in the year of disposal. Gains and
losses resulting from property disposals are included in other income or
expense. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets, or lease term, whichever is shorter.
 
     The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:

Buildings under capital leases...........................    10 years
Machinery and equipment..................................  3-10 years
Rolling stock............................................  5-10 years
Containers...............................................  5-12 years
</TABLE>
 
 9. Goodwill
 
     Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of
the tangible net assets of entities previously acquired by the Company and is
amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of expected benefit of 40
years.
 
10. Revenue Recognition
 
     The Company recognizes revenues as services are provided. Certain customers
are billed in advance and, accordingly, recognition of the related revenues is
deferred until the services are provided.
 
11. Income Taxes
 
     The Company operates under Subchapter "S" of the Internal Revenue Code for
federal and state income tax reporting purposes. Consequently, all of the income
tax attributes and liabilities of the Company's operations flow through to the
individual shareholders.
 
12. Significant Customer
 
     The Company has one major customer which represents 16% of total revenues
for the year ended September 30, 1997.
 
NOTE B -- MARKETABLE EQUITY SECURITIES
 
     At September 30, 1996 and 1997, the aggregate market value of marketable
equity securities exceeded their aggregate cost by $42 and $84, respectively.
Gross unrealized gains totaled $44 and $89 and gross unrealized losses totaled
$2 and $5 at September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively.

NOTE E -- FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS (CONTINUED)
     On July 1, 1998, the Company entered into an $875 credit facility with a
bank maturing December 2001. The credit facility is a line of credit through
January 1, 1999, whereupon all borrowings under the facility will be refinanced
on a note payable due in monthly installments through December 2001. Borrowings
bear interest at 8.0% per annum. During July 1998, the Company utilized all of
the credit facility for equipment purchases.
 
     The notes payable to bank and the credit facility are collateralized by
substantially all of the Company's assets and the personal guarantees of the
stockholders. The Company is subject to certain restrictive covenants with the
bank, which among other things, require that a specified debt service coverage
ratio be maintained and restrict the payment of dividends solely to amounts
sufficient to meet the tax requirements of the stockholders relative to the
Company's status as a Subchapter "S" Corporation. The Company was in compliance
with or received waivers of the covenant requirements for the year ended
September 30, 1997.
 
     As of September 30, 1997, aggregate contractual future principal payments
by fiscal year are due as follows:

     Prior to entering into the current leases, the Company leased these
facilities on a month-to-month basis from the related party. The Company
recognized rent expense of $171 and $117 in fiscal 1996 and 1997, respectively.
Total rent and minimum lease payments to the related party during fiscal 1996
and 1997 were $249 and $260, respectively.
 
     In conjunction with the acquisition of the Company by WCI on July 31, 1998,
the current leases were terminated, two of the three facilities were acquired
and the remaining facility was leased under a two-year lease with an option to
extend for an additional two years through July 2002.
 
  Noncompete Agreement
 
     The Company has a noncompete agreement with a related party that requires
the Company to pay $4 a month through October 1997 provided the related party
abides by the noncompete agreement. The Company paid the related party $44 in
each of the fiscal years ended September 30, 1996 and 1997.
 
CONTINGENCIES
 
  Legal Proceedings
 
     In the normal course of its business and as a result of the extensive
governmental regulation of the solid waste industry, the Company may
periodically become subject to various judicial and administrative proceedings
involving federal, state or local agencies. In these proceedings, an agency may
seek to impose fines on the Company or to revoke or deny renewal of an operating
permit held by the Company. From time to time the Company may also be subject to
actions brought by citizens' groups or adjacent landowners in connection with
the permitting and licensing of landfills and transfer stations, or alleging
environmental damage or violations of the permits and licenses pursuant to which
the Company operates.
 
     In addition, the Company may become party to various claims and suits
pending for alleged damages to persons and property, alleged violations of
certain laws and alleged liabilities arising out of matters occurring

during the normal operation of the waste management business. As of September

NOTE G -- PRO FORMA INCOME TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
 
     Unaudited pro forma information reflects income tax expense as if the
Company had been subject to federal and state income taxes. The pro forma
provisions for income taxes for the years ended September 30, 1996 and 1997 and
the nine month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1998 differ from the amounts
computed by applying the applicable statutory federal income tax rate (34%) to
income before income taxes due to state income taxes and certain non-deductible
expenses.
 
     The following is a summary of pro forma income taxes for the years ended
September 30, 1996 and 1997:

</TABLE>
 
     The Company's pro forma deferred income tax liabilities of approximately
$739 and $949 at September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively, relate principally
to differences between tax and financial methods of reporting depreciation
expense and the use of the cash method of accounting for income tax purposes
which gives rise to differences between financial statement and tax return
recognition of receivables, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued
liabilities.
 
NOTE H -- FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
     The following estimated fair value information pertains to the Company's
financial instruments and does not purport to represent the aggregate net fair
value of the Company.
 
     The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate
that value:
 
     Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount approximates fair value
because of the short maturity of those instruments.
 
     Marketable equity securities: Quoted market prices for the Company's
marketable equity securities are used to estimate fair value.
 
     Long-term debt and capital lease obligations: Current incremental borrowing
rates for similar type borrowings are used to estimate the fair value of the
Company's long-term debt and capital lease obligations.

                      INTRODUCTION TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
                       CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
     The following Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30,
1998 assumes the Company's acquisition of Shrader Refuse and Recycling Service
Company ("Shrader") occurred on that date. The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated
Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 1997 and the six months
ended June 30, 1998, give effect to the business combinations involving Waste
Connections, Inc., (the "Company"), its predecessors, Madera Disposal Systems,
Inc. ("Madera"), Arrow Sanitary Service, Inc. ("Arrow") and Shrader as if such
business combinations occurred on January 1, 1997. Such combinations were
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
 
     The Company has preliminarily analyzed the savings that it expects to be
realized by consolidating certain operational and general and administrative
functions. The Company has not and cannot quantify all of these savings due to
the short period of time since the predecessor, Madera, Arrow and Shrader
acquisitions occurred. It is anticipated that these savings will be partially
offset by the costs of being a publicly held company and the incremental
increase in costs related to the Company's corporate management. However, these
costs, like the savings they offset, cannot be quantified accurately. Neither
the anticipated savings nor the anticipated costs have been included in the
Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
     The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements include certain
adjustments to the historical financial statements, including adjusting
depreciation expense to reflect purchase price allocations, adjusting interest
expense to reflect acquisition-related debt and the related income tax effects
of these adjustments.
 
     The pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary estimates, available
information and certain assumptions and may be revised as additional information
becomes available. The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements do
not purport to represent what the Company's financial position or results of
operations would actually have been if such transactions in fact had occurred on
those dates or to project the Company's financial position or results of
operations for any future period. Because the Company, its predecessors, Madera,
Arrow and Shrader were not under common control or management for all periods,
historical combined results may not be comparable to, or indicative of, future
performance. The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements should be
read in conjunction with the other financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's Prospectus dated September 9, 1998, as well as
information included under the headings "Selected Financial Data,"
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" and "Risk Factors" included therein.

     PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS. The following adjustments have been made to the
unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations:
 
     (a)  To eliminate BFI corporate environmental expense allocation related to
          BFI landfill closure costs which do not exist for the Company.
 
     (b)  To record amortization of the loss contract accrual that was recorded
          in connection with the acquisitions of the predecessor operations. The
          loss contract accrual is being amortized to operating expenses over
          the related terms of the loss contracts which range from 6 to 65
          months. The loss contract accrual represents the estimated incremental
          losses to the Company related to certain unfavorable contracts the
          Company acquired in connection with the acquisition of the predecessor
          operations.
 
     (c)  To reduce facilities lease expense to the amounts provided for in the
          sublease agreement entered into with BFI in connection with the
          acquisitions of the predecessor operations. The sublease agreement was
          directly attributable to, a required element of, and a condition to
          the closing of the acquisition.
 
     (d)  To reduce BFI corporate overhead expense allocations to the amount of
          corporate overhead currently being incurred by the Company.
 
     (e)  To eliminate consulting expenses incurred by BFI related to the
          acquisition of The Disposal Group which the Company did not assume in
          connection with the acquisitions of the predecessors. The
          non-assumption of the consulting agreement was directly attributable
          to, a required element of, and a condition to the closing of the
          acquisition.

acquisition, which have been factored into the purchase price. Costs incurred by
Madera were expensed as incurred. The Company incurred costs of $95 related to
the Arrow acquisition, which have been factored into the purchase price. Costs
incurred by Arrow were expensed as incurred. The Company incurred costs of $225
related to the Shrader acquisition, which were factored into the purchase price.
Costs incurred by Shrader were expensed as incurred.
 
     CONTINGENT PAYMENTS. In connection with the Madera and Shrader acquisitions
the Company is required to pay contingent consideration to certain former
shareholders of the respective companies, subject to their involvement in
specified events that give rise to the consideration. No amounts related to
these contingent payments have been included in the pro forma financial
statements as the events which would give rise to such payments have not yet
occurred nor are probable.
 
     OTHER. The Professional Cleaning business of Madera ceased operations in
July 1997. This business had revenues of $193 and an operating loss of $215
during the year ended December 31, 1997.
 
     Shortly before the acquisition of the predecessor operations by the
Company, BFI amended a franchise agreement with a municipality which provided
for a reduction in the franchise fees. Had this amended franchise agreement been
in effect as of January 1, 1997, pro forma cost of operations would have been
approximately $135 lower during the year ended December 31, 1997.
