                                   (Unaudited)

The following unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations of 
Waste Recovery, Inc. (the Company) for the year ended December 31, 1996 has 
been prepared as if the acquisitions and related financings had occurred at 
the beginning of 1996.

The Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended 
December 31, 1996 is based upon the historical financial statements of U.S. 
Tire Recycling Partners L.P. for the eleven months ended November 30, 1996, 
the historical financial statements of Waste Recovery-Illinois, a general 
partnership, for the eleven months ended November 30, 1996, and the 
historical consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year 
ended December 31, 1996.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments have been made that are 
necessary to present fairly the pro forma data.

The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations data are not 
necessarily indicative of the results that would have been reported had such 
events occurred on the date specified, nor are they indicative of the 
Company's future results.
