SAFETY-KLEEN MOURNS PASSING OF COMPANY DIRECTOR
Columbia, S.C. -- Safety-Kleen Corp. expressed its heartfelt
condolences at the loss of company director John W. Rollins, Sr. Mr. Rollins,
83, passed away on Tuesday. As Chairman of Dover Downs Entertainment, Inc.,
Chairman and former CEO of Rollins Truck Leasing, and as the former Chairman and
CEO of Rollins Environmental Services, Inc., Mr. Rollins, Sr. was a valuable
board member and contributed to Safety-Kleen's success as the leading industrial
waste service company for both hazardous and non-hazardous waste streams.
The merger of Rollins Environmental Services and the hazardous and
industrial waste operations of Laidlaw Inc. in 1997, and, ultimately, the 1998
merger of the Laidlaw Environmental Services, Inc. with Safety-Kleen, resulted
in the formation of today's Safety-Kleen Corp., North America's premier provider
of recycling, industrial and environmental services. Mr. Rollins has served as a
member of Safety-Kleen Corp.'s Board of Directors since 1982.
"John was a brilliant businessman, a wise and valued counselor, and an
inspiration to all of us in the environmental services industry," stated Grover
Wrenn, Safety-Kleen Corp.'s Vice Chairman. "He will be profoundly missed."
