                     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 


NOTE 1 - Basis of presentation: 

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions
to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In
the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included.  All adjustments made to the
interim financial statements were of a normal recurring nature.  For
further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended June 30, 1993.  

NOTE 2 - Earnings per share: 
     Primary and fully diluted earnings per share are computed on the
basis of the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the
common stock equivalents which would arise from the exercise of stock
options using the treasury stock method.  
     The average number of shares (in thousands) used for primary and
fully diluted calculations were as follows:

 NOTE 3 - Long-term borrowings:

      The Company has a $100 million unsecured revolving line of credit
agreement (Agreement) with its banks.   The Agreement, which currently
matures on April 1, 1998, has a $16.5 million quarterly commitment
reduction commencing March 1, 1996.  On or before the first day of
October of each year, the Company has an option to extend the revolving
period and the termination date for a period of one year, with the
approval of its banks.  At the Company's option, borrowings under the
agreement bear interest at the bank's prime rate and/or at the London
Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus .75% to 2.0%, (1.25% at March 31,
1994), depending upon certain ratios.  This Agreement requires no
compensating balances.  Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company is
subject to various debt covenants, including maintenance of certain
financial ratios, and in addition, it limits the amount of cash
dividends.  Under certain conditions the banks may elect, at a date no
later than June 15, 1994, to reduce their commitment by $10 million. 
Outstanding borrowings under the Company's Agreement were $85 million at
March 31, 1994.  Interest on this debt averaged 4.8% for the nine months
ended March 31, 1994.  

NOTE 4 - Cumulative effect of accounting change:
      Effective July 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of
accounting for income taxes from the deferred method to the liability
method required by FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes".  Under the liability method, deferred tax liabilities and assets
are determined based on the difference between financial reporting and
tax basis of assets and liabilities, using the enacted tax rates in
effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. 
Taxes previously accrued will be adjusted for changes in tax rates as
<PAGE>
they become effective as opposed to when the taxes were recorded.  The
cumulative effect of adopting Statement 109 was $414,000.  As permitted
under the new rules, prior year financial statements have not been
restated. 

      Significant components of deferred tax assets and liabilities, as
restated effective July 1, 1993, are as follows (in thousands):

Deferred tax assets:
  
  Estimated liability for uninsured claims         $ 4,402
  Write down of investment in G.I. Industries        2,400
  Reserve for landfill related costs                 3,094
  Reserve for loss on municipal contract             2,460
  Reserve for litigation settlements                 1,230
  Reserve for properties                             1,435
  Reserve for disposal of a division                   813
  Reserve for bad debts                                556    
  Other, net                                           438 
    Total deferred tax assets                       16,828


Deferred tax liabilities:
  
  Tax over book depreciation                        10,497
  Land exchange                                      1,465
  Prepaid expenses                                     446 
  Other                                                721

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 
                    FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATION
Revenue 
     Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 1994 increased $7,882,000
or 14% as compared with the same quarter in fiscal 1993 and revenue for
the first nine months of fiscal year 1994 increased $18,698,000 or 11%
as compared with the prior year period.  The increase in revenue
resulted primarily from price and volume changes including new
operations in San Jose and Sunnyvale, California.
                                          
Costs of Operation
      Operating expenses, consisting primarily of wages and benefits for
operating personnel, insurance costs, fuel costs, disposal site fees and
equipment operating costs, increased $3,850,000 or 9% for the current
quarter, and $11,164,000 or 8% for the first nine months, over the
comparable periods in the prior fiscal year.  As a percentage of
revenue, these expenses decreased from 77.3% to 73.9% for the current
quarter and from 76.9% to 75.2% for the first nine months of fiscal
1994, as compared to the same periods in fiscal 1993.   Operating costs
decreased as a percentage of revenue due principally to (i) increases in
volume at the Companys' landfill operations, including an increase in
the volume of out-of-county waste at the Company's El Sobrante
California landfill site, which generally have lower operating costs
than waste collection operations and (ii) revenue growth resulting from
rate increases.      

<PAGE>
Special Charges
      In the third quarter of fiscal 1993, the Company incurred special
charges in the amount of $21,043,000.  These charges included
principally (1) writeoffs and reserves of $10,143,000 related to certain
landfill development projects (2) a provision of $6,900,000 for
additional reserves for potential future expenditures relating to the
long-term requirements for closure/post closure management of certain of
the Company's landfills and (3) a reserve of $4,000,000 for real estate
and other.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $430,000 or
5% for the current quarter and $2,167,000 or 8% for the first nine
months of fiscal 1994 over comparable periods of the prior fiscal year. 
As a percentage of revenue, these expenses decreased from 15.7% to 14.5%
for the current quarter and from 15.4% to 15.0% for the first nine
months of fiscal 1994, as compared to the same periods in fiscal 1993. 
Selling, general and administrative costs decreased as a percentage of
revenue due primarily to the Company's continuing effort to control
costs in conjunction with the revenue growth discussed in Operating
Expenses above. 


Nonoperating income (expense) - Other
      In the third quarter of 1993, the Company sold its investment of
45% of the outstanding common stock of Best Pak Disposal resulting in a
gain of $2,800,000.  This gain was included in Nonoperating income
(expense) - Other, in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the
quarter and nine months ended March 31, 1993.
<PAGE>

Income Taxes
     The effective tax rates were 45% and 44% for the third quarter and
first nine months of fiscal 1994, respectively. 

      The tax rate for the third quarter and the first nine months of
fiscal 1993, without the special charges recorded in the third quarter
of 1993, would have been 41%.  

      The increase in the effective tax rates was due primarily to the
increase in federal tax rates and the reduction of available tax
credits, as compared to the prior year.  



Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working capital - 
      At March 31, 1994, working capital amounted to $16,687,000 compared
to $13,261,000 at June 30, 1993.  The current ratio was 1.5 and 1.4 at
March 31, 1994 and June 30, 1993, respectively.  
      
      As of March 31, 1994, the Company has an unsecured revolving credit
agreement, which provides for borrowings up to $100 million.  At the
Company's option, borrowings under the agreement bear interest at the
bank's prime rate and/or at the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR)
plus .75% to 2.0%, (1.25% at March 31, 1994), depending upon certain
ratios.  Outstanding borrowings under the Company's revolving credit
agreement were $85 million at March 31, 1994.  
<PAGE>     
      The Company's debt to equity ratio was .72 to 1.0 and .75 to 1.0 at
March 31, 1994 and June 30, 1993, respectively.

Capital resources - 
    During the nine months ended March 31, 1994, the Company made
capital expenditures of approximately $27 million for property and
equipment other than that purchased through acquisition of other
companies.  The Company estimates that total capital expenditures for
fiscal 1994, including acquisitions, will be approximately $35 to $40
million.  The Company believes that cash provided by operations, cash
available under its revolving credit agreement and cash from other
external sources will be sufficient for its financing needs.
      

Inflation - 
      Generally, inflation has had a minor impact on the Company's
operations for the periods referred to above as most of the Company's
collection operations are under contracts that provide for rate
adjustments based upon increases in the consumer price index.  These
contracts reduce the Company's vulnerability to inflation.  However, in
the case of rapid changes in costs such as fuel and disposal costs, rate
increases may lag behind cost increases.
