ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

    On April 7, 1997, Recycling Industries of Georgia, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Registrant ("RIGI"), acquired substantially all of the assets
and the business of Addlestone Recycling, Corp., ("ARC"), a privately held
metals recycler with operations in Metter, Georgia.  ARC's markets are steel
mills and foundries in the Southeast.

    The assets acquired from ARC consist of heavy equipment, tools and rolling
stock used in the business of recycling ferrous and non-ferrous metals.  The
Registrant also purchased from ARC certain real property, buildings and
leasehold improvements used in the metals recycling business.

    The total purchase price for ARC was $5.7 million including $0.5 million 
paid in the form of 10,000 shares of Registrant's Series D Convertible Preferred
Stock.  The $5.2 million cash portion of the purchase price was funded from long
term debt obtained from a financial institution.  The purchase price was 
determined through arm's length negotiations and based upon an independent 
appraisal.

    The Company has reached a definitive agreement to purchase substantially all
the assets of Addlestone International Corporation ("AIC"), a privately held 
metals recycler with operations in Georgetown, South Carolina.  AIC's  markets 
are steel mills and foundries in the Southeast.  

    The total purchase price for AIC is $6 million plus unprocessed inventory 
payable at closing.  Included in the purchase price is $0.5 million or 10,000 
shares of Series E Convertible stock.  The $5.5 million cash portion of the 
purchase price will be funded from long term debt obtained from a financial 
institution.  The purchase price was determined through arm's length 
negotiations and based upon an independent appraisal.  

    The Registrant will continue the metals recycling operations of ARC and AIC.

    To the Board of Directors 
    Addlestone Recycling Corporation
    Addlestone International Corporation
    Charleston, South Carolina
    

    We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Addlestone 
Recycling Corporation and Addlestone International Corporation (the Companies)
as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the related combined statements of income,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1996.  These financial statements are the responsibility of 
the Companies' management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
    
    We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by 
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
    
    In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
 fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Addlestone
Recycling Corporation and Addlestone International Corporation as of December
31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

            See accompanying summary of accounting policies and 
                  notes to combined financial statements.



BUSINESS 

Addlestone Recycling Corporation ("ARC") is a Delaware corporation
formed in 1993; Addlestone International Corporation ("AIC") is a
Delaware corporation formed in 1973 (the "Companies").  The Companies
operate metals recycling facilities in Georgia and South Carolina providing
wholesale sales primarily to southeastern steel mills and markets.

COMBINATION

The combined financial statements include the accounts of ARC and AIC
which are under common control through majority ownership.  All material
intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.


REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

Effective August 1, 1994, ARC completed a one-for-ten reverse stock split
of its $.01 par value common stock.  All share amounts have been
retroactively restated to reflect this reverse split.


USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
year.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

The Companies' financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of
credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable.

The Companies maintain its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times,
may exceed federally insured limits.  The Companies have not experienced
any losses in such accounts.  

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables exist due to
large balances with a few customers.  At December 31, 1996, accounts
receivable balances from three customers were $1,147,000, $718,000 and
$441,000 or 38%, 24%, and 15%, of the total accounts receivable balance.
At December 31, 1995, accounts receivable balances from two customers
were $767,000 and $723,000 or 36% and 34% of total accounts receivable.
Ongoing credit evaluations of customers' financial conditions are performed
and, generally, no collateral is required.  No allowance for uncollectible
accounts has been recorded at December 31, 1996 and 1995 based on prior
years experience and management's analysis of possible bad debts.


INVENTORIES

Inventories consist primarily of ferrous scrap metals.  Inventories costs
include material, labor and plant overhead.  Inventories are stated at the
lower of average cost (first-in, first-out) or market.


PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost.  Depreciation is provided
using straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives
ranging from 5 to 15 years. Depreciation expense of property and
equipment was $835,000, $994,000 and $941,000 for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.  Maintenance and repairs are charged
to expense as incurred and expenditures for major improvements are
capitalized.  When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the property
accounts are relieved of costs and accumulated depreciation and any resulting 
gain or loss is credited or charged to operations.


INCOME TAXES

The Companies, with the consent of their stockholders, have elected under the 
Internal Revenue Code to be S-corporations.  In lieu of corporate income taxes,
the stockholders are taxed on their proportional share of the Companies; 
taxable income.  Therefore, no provision or liability for income taxes is 
included in the financial statements.  


FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts 
receivable and accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair 
value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial 
instruments.  The fair value of the notes receivable and notes payable were 
estimated based on market values of financial instruments with similar terms.
Management believes that the fair value of the notes receivable and notes 
payable approximate their carrying value.


REVENUE RECOGNITION

Sales are recorded in the period materials are shipped.


CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS


For purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Companies consider all
highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an initial maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.  
ADDLESTONE RECYCLING CORPORATION 
AND Addlestone INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

7.   Commitments
     and
     Contingencies  Environmental Liabilities
                    -------------------------

                     In connection with the recycling and processing of metals, 
                     the Companies may come in contact with "hazardous 
                     materials" as that term is defined under various 
                     environmental laws.  Although the Companies screen for
                    "hazardous materials" in their raw materials, certain items 
                     processed may inadvertently contain such materials, which 
                     could result in contamination of the waste by-products and 
                     premises.  At this time the Companies believe that they are
                     in substantial compliance with all applicable environmental
                     laws.  Due to the nature of the Companies' operations,
                     changes in the environmental laws or inadvertent improper 
                     disposal of a hazardous material may result in a violation 
                     of such laws subjecting the Companies to fines and 
                     responsibility for costs attributable to remediation.




                     AIC has been notified of  potential liability pursuant to
                     Section 107(a) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
                     Compensation, and Liability Act.  On June 15, 1993, 5705
                     Highway Avenue Corporation formerly  Tri-State Recycling
                     Corporation ("Tri-State") purchased real property which
                     had previously been owned by a former wholly owned
                     subsidiary of AIC.  In connection with Tri-State's
                     purchase of the property, AIC executed a $2,000,000
                     limited unconditional guaranty on behalf of the affiliate.
                     As part of the guaranty, AIC obtained a $760,000 standby
                     letter of credit.  The guaranty and letter of credit
                     specifically relate to indemnity obligations pursuant to
                     its purchase of the property, and include a potentially
                     significant environmental liability.  Management believes
                     that amounts disbursed by AIC on behalf of Tri-State in
                     connection with the guaranty will be recouped by AIC when
                     the Tri-State property is sold.  Although the outcome of
                     this matter cannot be predicted with certainty, management
                     believes that the disposition of this matter will not have
                     a material adverse effect on the financial position,
                     results of operations or cash flows of the Companies.

                     In 1992 AIC was notified that it had sold material to two
                     customers who improperly disposed of certain waste by-
                     products of the related material.  AIC has been named as a
                     potentially liable party in the clean up of the waste by-
                     products.  The financial statements include an estimated
                     environmental cleanup liability of approximately $244,000
                     and $176,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995 related to these
                     matters.

                     Letter of Credit
                     ----------------

                     At December 31, 1996 and 1995, AIC had a $50,000
                     outstanding letter of credit issued in connection with a
                     vendor arrangement.

                     Operating Lease
                     ---------------

                     ARC leases equipment under a non-cancelable operating lease
                     expiring February, 2000.

                     Approximate future minimum lease payments are as follows:

                     1998                                              3,000
                     1999                                              3,000

                     Rent expense for non-cancelable operating leases for 1996,
                     1995, and 1994 was $3,000, $0 and $0.


                     Profit Sharing Plan
                     -------------------

                     AIC provides a defined contribution profit sharing plan
                     covering substantially all of its employees.  The plan
                     provides for salary reduction contributions by
                     participating employees, and requires the Company to
                     make matching contributions up to 3% of a participant's
                     compensation.

                     AIC's contributions to the plan for the years ended
                     December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $17,000, $16,000 and
                     $16,000.

9.   Subsequent      On April 7, 1997, the stockholders of ARC sold all of the
     Events          property and equipment and unprocessed inventory used in
                     its metals recycling operations to Recycling Industries,
                     Inc. ("RII") for $5,500,000 plus an amount equal to the
                     value of the unprocessed inventory at closing and is
                     payable as follows:  $5,000,000 plus an amount equal to
                     the value of the unprocessed inventory in cash at closing

                     agreement with Recycling Industries, Inc. ("RII") to sell
                     all of the property and equipment and unprocessed inventory
                     used in its metals recycling operations.  The sales price
                     shall be $6,000,000 plus an amount equal to the value of
                     the unprocessed inventory at closing and is payable as
                     follows:  $5,500,000 plus an amount equal to the value of

                     Preferred Stock shall have a stated value of $500,000 and
                     shall be converted to RII Common Stock (the "Conversion
                     Shares") two years from closing at the then market price.
                     The Conversion Shares shall provide for dividends on a
                     cumulative basis at the per annum rate of 8%, payable
                     quarterly.  Closing of the sale will occur no later than
                     June 30, 1997, provided all terms of the sales agreement
