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

Results of Operations:  Three Months Ended December 31, 1995 vs. Three
Months Ended December 31, 1994

       Revenues increased by $11,529,000 (23.1%) to $61,436,000 from the
$49,907,000 reported last year.  Acquisitions made during fiscal 1995
contributed $16,699,000 to the 1996 revenue, while existing business
revenues decreased by $5,170,000.  The existing business revenues decreased
due to lower average prices, lower incineration volumes and a change in
incineration mix.  The Company's incineration revenues were adversely
affected by industry-wide overcapacity, intense price competition (which
resulted in significantly lower selling prices) and lower volumes of
available waste.

       Operating expenses increased by $17,135,000 (48.1%) to $52,738,000
from the $35,603,000 reported last year.  Acquisitions in 1995 contributed
approximately $17,823,000 of this expense increase, while existing business
expenses decreased by $688,000.  Operating costs as a percentage of
revenues increased to 85.8% in 1995 from 71.3% in 1994.  Since a large
component of the Company's cost structure is fixed, operating expenses
increased as a percentage of revenues.  The Company continues to reduce
expenses and streamline the organization.

       Depreciation increased by $1,909,000 (34.0%) due mainly to the
impact of the 1995 acquisitions offset in part by lower capital
expenditures during the past few years.

       Selling and administrative expenses increased $2,485,000 (36.9%) as
a result of higher payroll, data processing and other costs incurred in
connection with acquisitions in the third quarter of fiscal 1995.  As a
percentage of revenues, selling and administrative expenses increased to
15.0% in 1995 from 13.5% in 1994.

       Interest expense increased by $2,285,000 as a result of acquisition-
related debt incurred or assumed in the third quarter of fiscal 1995.

       The effective income tax benefit for the first quarter of fiscal
year 1996 was 35.6%.  The effective income tax rate for the first quarter
of fiscal year 1995 was 35.0%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

       The cash used in operations during the first fiscal quarter of 1996
is not representative of the Company's expectations for future quarters due
to the unfavorable working capital changes experienced.  Depreciation
expense represents a significant non-cash charge to operations. 

       During the first fiscal quarter of 1996 and 1995, expenditures for
property and equipment were $2,687,000 and $4,744,000, respectively.  In
addition, expenditures on remediation projects at the Company's facilities
during the first fiscal quarter of 1996 and 1995 were $1,160,000 and
$619,000, respectively.  The Company financed its capital and remediation
expenditures during the first fiscal quarter of 1996 from available cash
resources.


FORM 10-Q                                                     Page 6 of 7

       The Company's projected capital and remediation expenditures for the
remainder of fiscal 1996 are approximately $11,600,000.  Capital and
remediation expenditures are expected to be financed from available cash
balances, income taxes refunded and proceeds from the sale of certain
nonstrategic assets.

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

       Results of operations for the quarter ended December 31, 1994 do not
include the effects of acquisitions made during the latter part of fiscal
year 1995.  Set forth below is a more relevant comparison between the
Company's first quarter of fiscal 1996 and the fourth quarter of fiscal
1995.  The comparative operating information reflecting the impact of the
Company's ongoing cost containment efforts is as follows:

                         Quarter Ended              Quarter Ended
                       December 31, 1995          September 30, 1995

       For the remainder of fiscal year 1996, the Company anticipates lower
operating cash requirements as it realizes the benefits of cost reductions
and lower capital spending.  The Company believes that existing cash
balances, a federal income tax refund of $9,811,767 received during the
Company's second fiscal quarter 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.
