                         Report of Independent Auditors

The Savings Plan Administrative Committee
EnviroSource, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for
benefits of the EnviroSource, Inc. Savings Plan as of December 31, 1995 and
1994, and the related statements of changes in assets available for
benefits for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan'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 assets available for benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in its assets available for
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
financial statements taken as a whole.  The accompanying supplemental
schedules of assets held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1995,
and reportable transactions for the year then ended, are presented for
purposes of complying with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations
for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, and are not a required part of the financial statements.  The
supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, are
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial
statements taken as a whole.

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                               December 31, 1995

Note A - Description of the Plan

The following is a general description of the EnviroSource, Inc. Savings
Plan  (the Plan). Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more
complete description of its provisions.

General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan available to all salaried and
certain  nonunion, hourly employees, of EnviroSource, Inc. (the Company)
and other affiliated participating employers, who have completed one year
of service, as defined by the Plan document.  The Plan is subject to the
provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

Contributions

Participants may make tax-deferred contributions ranging from 2% to 6% of
their base salaries, with the participating employer contributing a
matching amount equal to 50% (100% if the contributions are invested in the
EnviroSource, Inc. common stock fund) of such contributions subject to
certain limitations.  Participants may make additional tax-deferred
contributions ranging from 1% to 6% of their base salaries without further
contributions by the participating employers up to the annual limit
prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code.  Participants may also make
additional contributions to the Plan, subject to certain limitations, which
are not tax deferred.

Vesting

Participants have a nonforfeitable interest in 100% of their contributions. 
Generally, participants become 20% vested in the matching contributions
made by participating employers for each year of qualifying service.  In
addition, participants become 100% vested upon reaching age 65, death or
disability, termination of the Plan or discontinuance of matching
contributions by participating employers.  Forfeitures of matching account
balances, by participants not fully vested at their termination, are used
to fund benefits required to be restored for formerly terminated
participants and the excess, if any, is used to reduce the employer's
obligation to make matching contributions.  

Payment of Benefits

Upon termination  of employment, participants receive lump-sum
distributions unless they elect to receive annual benefits over a ten year
period.   However, participants with account balances less than $3,500
always receive lump-sum distributions.  Distributions to participants who
have not reached age 65 require the consent of the participant.

Note A - Description of Plan (Continued)

Participant Loans

A qualified participant may request a loan once in any 12-month period,
subject to the approval of the Plan's Administrative Committee.  The total
amount of loans outstanding at any time for a participant may not exceed
the lesser of 50% of the vested balance in the participant's account or
$50,000.  The loans are payable over a period of up to five years and bear
interest at market rates prevailing when the loans are made.  

Investment Options and Valuation

Participants may direct employer and employee contributions into any of
four mutual funds or into the EnviroSource, Inc. common stock fund. 
Investments in mutual funds are stated at the quoted net asset values of
the respective funds. Investments in the EnviroSource, Inc. common stock
are stated at the quoted market price of the stock.  

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.

Plan Termination

Although the Company has not expressed any intent to terminate the Plan, it
may do so at any time.  In the event the Plan is terminated, participants 
become fully vested in their accounts and such amounts will be distributed
to them as described in the Plan.

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses incurred by the Plan are paid by the Company.

Federal Income Taxes

The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that the Plan qualifies under
Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and, therefore, the
related trust is not subject to tax under present income tax law.  Once
qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the IRC to
maintain its qualification.  The Plan's Administrative Committee is not
aware of any course of action or series of events that have occurred that
might adversely affect the Plan's qualified status.
