Item  2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

Results of Operations:  Nine Months Ended June 30, 1996 vs. Nine Months
Ended June 30, 1995
     Revenues increased by $25,201,000 (16.1%) to $181,749,000 from the
$156,548,000 reported last year.  The increase in revenues was the result of
acquisitions made during fiscal 1995 offset in part by lower average prices
and a change in incineration mix.  The Company's incineration revenues were
adversely affected by industry-wide overcapacity, waste minimization and
intense price competition.

     Operating expenses increased by $31,712,000 (24.9%) to $159,248,000
from the $127,536,000 reported last year.  The increase reflects the
increase in revenues and higher fixed operating costs as the result of
acquisitions made during fiscal 1995.  Operating costs as a percentage of
revenues increased to 87.6% in 1996 from 81.5% in 1995 mainly due to the
large component of the Company's cost structure which is fixed.

     Depreciation increased by $5,981,000 (31.3%) mainly due to the impact
of the 1995 acquisitions and the amortization of airspace for a recently
completed landfill cell, offset in part by lower capital expenditures during
the last few years.

     Selling and administrative expenses increased $2,313,000 (10.0%) as the
result of higher payroll, data processing and other costs associated with
acquisitions made during the third quarter of fiscal 1995.  As a percentage
of revenues, selling and administrative expenses decreased to 14.0% in 1996
from 14.8% in 1995.

     Interest expense increased by $4,390,000 as a result of acquisition-
related debt incurred or assumed in the third quarter of fiscal 1995.

     The effective income tax benefits for the nine months ended June 30,
1996 and 1995 were 35.7% and 36.6%, respectively.

Results of Operations:  Quarter Ended June 30, 1996 vs. Quarter Ended June
30, 1995.
     Revenues decreased by $1,705,000 (2.7%) to $61,582,000 from the
$63,287,000 reported last year.  The decrease in revenues was the result of
higher incineration volume processed at lower average prices offset in part
by an increase in transportation and other service revenues.  Although
overall business conditions remain very competitive, the Company's
performance in the third quarter compared with the second quarter improved
through increased revenue growth and decreased costs.

     Operating expenses decreased by $2,020,000 (3.7%) reflecting the
increased incineration volume and related transportation costs offset in
part by lower payroll, property taxes and maintenance costs.  Operating
costs as a percentage of revenues decreased to 84.8% in 1996 from 85.8% in
1995.

     Depreciation increased $1,321,000 (16.9%) mainly due to an increase in
the amortization of airspace for a recently completed landfill cell, a
writedown of property and equipment determined to have an impaired value,
and the impact of the 1995 acquisitions offset in part by lower capital
expenditures during the past few years.

FORM 10-Q                                                      Page 6 of 7

     Selling and administrative expenses decreased by $1,447,000 (16.0%)
principally as the result of lower data processing, consultants and other
transitional costs incurred in connection with acquisitions in the third
quarter of fiscal 1995.  As a percentage of revenues, selling and
administrative expenses decreased to 12.3% in 1996 from 14.3% in 1995.

     Interest expense decreased $119,000 (5.2%) as a result of lower levels
of long-term debt outstanding.

     The effective income tax benefits for the three months ended June 30,
1996 and 1995 were 34.9% and 34.6%, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     During the first nine months of fiscal 1996 and 1995, expenditures for
property and equipment were $7,578,000 and $15,261,000, respectively.  In
addition, expenditures on remediation projects at the Company's facilities
for the first nine months of fiscal 1996 and 1995 were $2,966,000 and
$2,676,000, respectively.  The Company financed its capital and remediation
expenditures from available cash resources.

     The Company's projected capital and remediation expenditures for the
remainder of fiscal 1996 are approximately $3,000,000.  Capital and
remediation expenditures are expected to be financed from available cash
balances and proceeds from the sale of certain nonstrategic assets.

     The Company continues its efforts to reduce operating losses through
cost reductions and increased operating efficiencies.  In addition, the
Company continues its emphasis on expanding the scope of customer services
in order to enhance revenues and improve cash flows.

     For the remainder of fiscal year 1996, the Company anticipates lower
operating cash requirements as it realizes the benefits of cost reductions
and a lower level of planned capital spending.  The Company believes that
existing cash balances and cash expected to be generated from future
operations will be sufficient to meet the Company's cash requirements for
the remainder of fiscal 1996.  For further details, see page 8 of the
Company's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
