This Proxy Statement is furnished to shareholders of the Company in
connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of
Proxies in connection with the Meeting. The Board of Directors of
the Company is soliciting Proxies so that each shareholder is given
an opportunity to vote. These Proxies enable shareholders to vote on
all matters that are scheduled to come before the Meeting. When
Proxies are returned properly executed, the shares represented
thereby will be voted by the Proxy Committee in accordance with the
shareholders' directions. Shareholders are urged to specify their
choices by marking the enclosed Proxy; if no choice has been
specified, the shares will be voted "for" the nominees for election
of directors for the Company. The Proxy also confers upon the Proxy
Committee discretionary authority to vote the shares represented
thereby on any other matter that may properly be presented for
action at the Meeting.
At the Annual Meeting, the Company's shareholders will be asked (i)
to elect the nominees listed below to serve as members of the Board
of Directors until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until
their successors are duly elected and qualified and (ii) to take
such other action as may properly come before the Meeting.

shareholders of record on November 3, 2000.

the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than 30 calendar
days or delayed by more than 90 calendar days from the above meeting

the changed meeting date and of the date by which such proposals must

Secretary of the Company, specifically revoking the proxy, or (ii) a
properly created proxy bearing a later date. Any correspondence
revoking a proxy is subject to the same delivery requirements as the

counted. Neither attendance at the meeting nor voting at the meeting
shall revoke the proxy.

involved with the environment. Mr. Preston was introduced to the Total
Recycling System while serving the people of Ontario and recognized it
for what it was, a way to deal with household waste other than putting

Proxies are solicited in favor of the nominees and it is intended that
the proxies will be voted for the nominees unless otherwise specified.
Should a nominee become unable to serve for any reason, unless the
shareholders by resolution provide for a lesser number of directors,
the persons named in the enclosed proxy will vote for the election of a
substitute nominee. The Board of Directors has no reason to believe
that any nominee will be unable to serve.
RECOMMENDATION
The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote FOR the
election of the director nominees. Assuming the presence of a quorum,
the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of
the shares of Common Stock present and entitled to vote on this item at
the Annual Meeting is required to elect the nominees. In determining
whether this item has received the requisite number of affirmative
votes, abstentions will not be counted and will have no effect on the
result of the vote, although abstentions will count toward the presence
of a quorum. Brokers who hold shares in street name have the authority
to vote on certain routine matters on which they have not received
instruction from the beneficial holders of such shares. Brokers holding
shares in street name, who do not receive instruction, are entitled to
vote on the election of directors, and such broker votes will count
toward the presence of a quorum.
Legal Proceedings
There are no material pending legal proceedings to which any officer or
director of the Company is a party, and to the best of their knowledge
no such action by or against any officer or director has been
threatened.
Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers
Neither of the Company's officers and/or directors receive any
compensation for their respective services rendered to the Company, nor
have they received such compensation in the past. They both have agreed
to act without compensation until authorized by the Board of Directors,
which is not expected to occur until the Company has generated revenues
from operations after consummation of a merger or acquisition. As of
the date of this proxy statement, the Company has no funds available to
pay directors. Further, none of the directors are accruing any
compensation pursuant to any agreement with the Company.
It is anticipated that Management will be compensated with stock
options and/or salary, if a business combination is completed. The
details of the stock options and/or salary have not yet been completed.
It is expected that these details will be one of the items to be
negotiated as part of the combination.
It is possible that, after the Company successfully consummates a
merger or acquisition with an unaffiliated entity, that entity may
desire to employ or retain one or more members of the Company's
management for the purposes of providing services to the surviving
entity, or otherwise provide other compensation to such persons.
However, the Company has adopted a policy whereby the offer of any post-
transaction remuneration to members of management will not be a
consideration in the Company's decision to undertake any proposed
transaction. Each member of management has agreed to disclose to the
Company's Board of Directors any discussions concerning possible
compensation to be paid to them by any entity which proposes to
undertake a transaction with the Company and further, to abstain from
voting on such transaction. Therefore, as a practical matter, if each
member of the Company's Board of Directors is offered compensation in
any form from any prospective merger or acquisition candidate, the
proposed transaction will not be approved by the Company's Board of
Directors but will be submitted to a vote of the shareholders as a
result of the inability of the Board to affirmatively approve such a
transaction.
It is possible that persons associated with management may refer a
prospective merger or acquisition candidate to the Company. In the
event the Company consummates a transaction with any entity referred by
associates of management, it is possible that such an associate will be
compensated for their referral in the form of a finder's fee. It is
anticipated that this fee will be either in the form of restricted
common stock issued by the Company as part of the terms of the proposed
transaction, or will be in the form of cash consideration. However, if
such compensation is in the form of cash, such payment will be tendered
by the acquisition or merger candidate, because the Company has
insufficient cash available. The amount of such finder's fee cannot be
determined as of the date of this proxy statement, but is expected to
be comparable to consideration normally paid in like transactions. No
member of management of the Company will receive any finders fee,
either directly or indirectly, as a result of their respective efforts
to implement the Company's business plan outlined herein. Persons
"associated" with management is meant to refer to persons with whom
management may have had other business dealings, but who are not
affiliated with or relatives of management.
No retirement, pension, profit sharing, stock option or insurance
programs or other similar programs have been adopted by the Company for
the benefit of its employees.
Other Matters
The Board of Directors knows of no other business to come before the
meeting. If, however, other matters properly come before the meeting,
it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to vote
the shares represented thereby in accordance with their best judgment.
Vote Required for Approval
Each shareholder is entitled to one vote for or against each director
standing for election for each share he or she held of record on
November 3, 2000. The shareholder may choose to ABSTAIN from voting for
any individual for election to the Board of Directors. By choosing to
ABSTAIN, the shareholder withholds his or her authority for the Proxy
Committee to vote for that candidate. Abstentions will be counted
toward the presence of a quorum.
Annual Report
Included with this proxy statement is a copy of the Company's annual
report for the year ended December 31, 1999. This annual report is
