                                  (Unaudited)


    NOTE 1       Basis of Presentation

         The consolidated interim financial statements included herein have been
    prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
    Securities and Exchange Commission, and include, in the opinion of
    management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals)
    necessary for the fair presentation of interim period results. The operating
    results for the three months ended March 31, 1994 are not necessarily
    indicative of those to be expected for the full fiscal year. Reference is
    made to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
    included in Clean Harbors' Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
    31, 1993 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

    NOTE 2        Significant Accounting Policies

      (A)   Net Income Per Common and Common Equivalent Share

         Net income per common and common equivalent share is based on net
    income less preferred stock dividend requirements divided by the weighted
    average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during
    each of the respective periods. Fully diluted net income per common share
    has not been presented as the amount would not differ significantly from
    that presented.

    NOTE 3       Financial Arrangements

         At December 31, 1993, the Company had a Revolving Credit Agreement (the
    "Revolver") with three banks, which permitted borrowings of up to
    $38,000,000 in cash and allowed the Company to have a maximum of $20,000,000
    of letters of credit outstanding. The combination of cash and letters of
    credit outstanding was limited to $50,000,000 at any one time. At March 31,
    1994, borrowings under the Revolver were $31,004,569 (exclusive of
    outstanding letters of credit). The entire balance of the Revolver matures
    on July 1, 1996. All borrowings under the Revolver are collateralized by
    substantially all of the Company's assets.

         On February 1, 1994, the Company and its banks amended the Revolver to
    increase the amount of the Revolver to $55,000,000. The amended Revolver
    permits borrowings of up to $40,000,000 in cash, and allows the Company to
    have up to $20,000,000 of letters of credit outstanding. The combination of
    cash and letters of credit outstanding may not exceed $55,000,000 at any one
    time. The amount of the Revolver reduces on April 1, 1995 to $50,000,000.

       RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

       REVENUES

             Revenues for the first quarter of 1994 increased 18% to
       $51,285,000, from revenues of $43,452,000 in the first quarter of the
       prior year. Combined revenues of the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, and Central
       regions grew 37%, offsetting a 7% decline in the Northeast region, which
       was particularly hard-hit by winter weather in 1994. The Mid-Atlantic
       region includes the Company's service center in Puerto Rico, which had
       approximately $7 million of revenue during the first quarter of 1994 from
       the clean-up of the oil spill from a barge off the coast of Puerto Rico.

             The following table sets forth for the periods indicated the
       Company's revenues by region, based upon the locations of its service
       centers. The Company also has sales offices, which may become service
       centers as business around a sales office develops and the Company adds
       staff and equipment to support the increasing level of business. During
       the first quarter of 1994, the Company's sales office in St. Louis,
       Missouri became a service center, by relocating to larger space and
       adding field technicians and personnel to service customers. Also during
       the quarter, the Company relocated its sales personnel from its sales
       office in Newburgh, New York to other sales locations. The Company now
       has 20 service centers and eight sales offices.

</TABLE> 

             The severe winter weather adversely impacted operations throughout
       the Company's service territory in January and February, causing business
       to be postponed or canceled. Although the weather caused a shortfall in
       revenue from its base business in January and February, the Company
       believes some of the postponed business was realized in March, since
       overall business in March was better than planned.

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


       COST OF REVENUES

             For the three months ended March 31, 1994, the cost of revenues as
       a percentage of revenue increased to 70.0% as compared to 65.3% for the
       same period of the prior year, reflecting the competitive pricing trends
       in the hazardous waste industry. However, the first quarter's cost of
       revenues as a percentage of revenue was the same as it was for the
       preceding quarter ended December 31, 1993. Despite the bad weather during
       January and February, the Company realized a slight gross margin
       improvement in its base business from the fourth quarter of 1993. The
       gross margin on the revenue from the Puerto Rico oil spill was
       substantially below the gross margin on the Company's base business,
       since most of the labor involved in the spill cleanup was subcontracted
       for the project. The Company managed to utilize resources efficiently and
       control costs during the quarter, so that profitability did not suffer.

             One of the largest components of cost of revenues is the cost of
       sending waste to other companies for disposal. Internal waste disposal
       capabilities have expanded as a result of continued modifications and
       upgrades at the Company's facilities, and acquisitions of facilities with
       waste treatment systems not found at other Company plants. For example,
       in February 1993, the Company acquired Spring Grove Resource Recovery,
       Inc., the operator of a hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal
       facility in Cincinnati, Ohio ("Spring Grove"), which provides hazardous
       wastewater treatment and pretreatment of waste to stabilize it before it
       is sent to landfills. The Company continues to benefit from a competitive
       pricing environment among disposal vendors, such as landfills and
       incinerators, to whom the Company sends waste for ultimate disposal. As a
       result, the Company's outside disposal costs decreased to 12.8% of
       revenue in the first quarter of 1994 (calculated excluding revenue from
       the Puerto Rico oil spill), from 15.7% of revenue in the first quarter of
       1993.

       SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

             Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months
       ended March 31, 1994 decreased to 19.3% of revenue as compared to 21.6%
       for the three months ended March 31, 1993. This decrease is primarily due
       to the cost control efforts begun in the summer of 1993, and the
       Company's focus on improving productivity and its ratio of billable to
       nonbillable staff. Since July 1993, the Company has reduced its
       nonbillable staff by 13%, while increasing its billable staff by 2%. The
       Company has managed to reduce its payroll base 6% since July 1, 1993, and
       improve its ratio of billable to nonbillable staff. At March 31, 1994,
       the Company had 1,459 regular employees; approximately 58% of its
       workforce was billable personnel, compared to 54% at July 1, 1993.
       Management of the Company has accomplished the goal it set in the summer
       of 1993 of driving general and administrative costs to below 20% of
       revenue. The Company expects its selling, general and administrative
       expenses in the second quarter of 1994 to be under 20% of revenue.

       INTEREST EXPENSE

             Interest expense for the three month periods ended March 31, 1994
       and March 31, 1993 was $1,819,000 and $1,737,000, respectively. No
       interest was capitalized during either quarter. Approximately half of the
       Company's debt bears interest at floating rates, based either on the
       "prime" rate or "Eurodollar Rate," which are expected to fluctuate in the
       future. On May 15, 1994, the Company expects to make a scheduled
       $7,500,000 prepayment at par on its $30,000,000 senior subordinated
       notes, which bear interest at 13.25% (the "Senior Notes"). The Company
       expects to make the May 15, 1994 payment using amounts drawn under its
       $55,000,000 Revolving Credit Agreement with three banks (the "Revolver").
       Amounts drawn under the Revolver will bear interest at The First National
       Bank of Boston's "base" rate plus 1%. As of April 22, 1994 the "base"
       rate was 6.75%. Therefore, the Company expects some interest savings
       after the May 15th prepayment. Further savings may be realized as the
       Company uses funds generated from operations to pay down the loans
       outstanding under the Revolver. See Financial Condition and Liquidity
       below.
       
       INCOME TAXES

             The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 1994 was
       46%, as compared to 44% in the first quarter of 1993. The effective rates
       are higher than the combined state and federal statutory rates due in
       part to the amortization of goodwill for accounting purposes, which is
       nondeductible for income tax reporting purposes. The effective rate
       fluctuates depending on the amount of goodwill amortization and other
       nondeductible amounts as compared to income before taxes. The Company
       expects its effective income tax rate for 1994 to be approximately 46%.

       RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

             The Company's Cincinnati facility holds a federal Part B license,
       which was issued in 1985 and expires in 1995, and a state Hazardous Waste
       Facility Installation and Operation permit which was renewed in December
       1993 for a five-year term. On March 31, 1994, the Ohio EPA approved the
       Company's application for a revised, comprehensive state permit, that
       expands the range of waste that may be received and treated at the
       facility, and allows installation of equipment for handling and
       processing material to be sent to industrial furnaces and used as
       supplemental fuel.

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


       FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

             The Company's future operating results may be affected by a number
       of factors, including the Company's ability to: realize and make
       permanent the anticipated cost reduction benefits associated with its
       reengineering program initiated in the summer of 1993; utilize its
       facilities and workforce profitably, in the face of intense price
       competition; successfully increase market share in its existing service
       territory while expanding its product offerings into other markets; and
       integrate additional hazardous waste management facilities and generate
       incremental volumes of waste to be handled through such facilities from
       existing sales offices and service centers and others which may be opened
       in the future.

             The Company's operations may be affected by the commencement and
       completion of major site remediation projects; seasonal fluctuations due
       to weather and budgetary cycles influencing the timing of customers'
       spending for remedial activities; the timing of regulatory decisions
       relating to hazardous waste management projects; secular changes in the
       process waste industry towards waste minimization and the propensity for
       delays in the remedial market; suspension of governmental permits; and
       fines and penalties for noncompliance with the myriad regulations
       governing the Company's diverse operations. As a result of these factors,
       the Company's revenue and income could vary significantly from quarter to
       quarter, and past financial performance should not be considered a
       reliable indicator of future performance.

             The Company participates in a highly volatile industry, with
       multiple competitors, many of which recently have taken large write-offs
       and asset write-downs and undergone major restructurings, while others
       have announced they will undergo such restructurings and incur special
       charges in the near future. The Company's participation in a highly
       dynamic industry often results in significant volatility of the Company's
       common stock price, as well as that of its competitors.

       FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

             The Company has financed its operations and capital expenditures by
       cash flow from operations and additions to long-term debt. Cash provided
       by operations, before changes in current assets and current liabilities,
       was $3,087,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and $3,398,000
       for the three months ended March 31, 1993.

             During the three months ended March 31, 1994, net reductions in
       long-term debt were $2,105,000, and the Company spent $630,000 on
       additions to plant and equipment, as compared to the same period of the
       prior year when its capital expenditures were $2,179,000 (excluding the
       cost to acquire Spring Grove), and net additions to long-term debt were
       $2,255,000. The Company anticipates that its capital expenditures for the
       remainder of 1994 will be approximately $5,400,000. The Company expects
       to finance these requirements through cash flow from operations.

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



       FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY (continued)

             The Company also continues to investigate the possibility of
       acquiring additional hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal
       facilities, which would be financed by a variety of sources.

             On February 1, 1994, the Company and its banks amended the Revolver
       to modify certain covenants and increase the amount of the Revolver to
       $55,000,000. Although the Company's operations are producing cash flow in
       excess of the amounts required to finance its operations and capital
       expenditures, the Company asked its banks to increase the revolving
       credit facility from $50,000,000 to $55,000,000 in anticipation of
       drawing funds to make the first $7,500,000 prepayment due May 15, 1994 on
       its Senior Notes. The Revolver permits borrowings of up to $40,000,000 in
       loans, and allows the Company to have up to $20,000,000 in letters of
       credit outstanding. The combination of loans and letters of credit
       outstanding may not exceed $55,000,000 at any one time.

             At March 31, 1994 the loans outstanding under the Revolver were
       $31,004,569, the letters of credit aggregated $8,995,431, and the Company
       had available Revolver borrowing capacity of $9,635,185. After the
       $7,500,000 Senior Note prepayment on May 15, 1994, the Company will have
       limited borrowing capacity, until it reduces the loans outstanding under
       the Revolver. The Company believes it will have adequate liquidity for
       the balance of 1994, since its operations are expected to produce cash
       flow in excess of the amounts required to finance its operations and
       capital expenditures.

             The Company has the option of prepaying the remaining $22,500,000
       principal balance of the Senior Notes in whole or in part at any time, at
       par plus a premium of 4.417% if prepaid between May 15, 1994 and May 15,
       1995, and thereafter at lower premiums, which decline each year. The
       Company may decide to issue long-term debt to prepay the remainder of the
       Senior Notes.

             The amount of the Revolver reduces to $50,000,000 on April 1, 1995.
       No principal is due under the Revolver until it matures on July 1, 1996.
       The Company expects to reduce the loans outstanding under the Revolver
       over the term of the facility by (i) using funds generated from
       operations to pay down the loans or (ii) issuing common stock or other
       long-term debt.

                          PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


       Item 1 - Legal Proceedings

             Except as provided below, no reportable events have occurred which
       would require modification of the discussion under Item 3-Legal
       Proceedings contained in the Company's Report on Form 10-K for the Year
       Ended December 31, 1993.

             In April 1988, the Braintree Board of Selectmen issued a cease and
       desist order with respect to the handling of flammable materials stored
       at the Braintree facility. The Board concluded that, when the Company
       purchased the land on which the Braintree facility is located, a license
       for the storage of flammable liquids was not conveyed as an incident of
       ownership. The Company petitioned the Massachusetts Land Court for a
       declaratory judgment that either the Company possesses such a license by
       operation of law or that the statute requiring the license is pre-empted
       by the pervasive state regulation of hazardous waste facilities. In March
       1994, the Land Court issued a favorable ruling, concluding that the
       statute is pre-empted by state hazardous waste laws and regulations and
       no local flammable storage license is required. The Town may appeal the
       ruling.

             In August 1990, an action was filed in the New York Supreme Court,
       Albany County, in connection with the accidental death of an employee of
       a Company subsidiary who was working on the Hudson River in September
       1989 while responding to an oil spill. The complaint sought $10 million
       under the federal Longshoremen's and Harborworkers Compensation Act (the
       "Jones Act"). The Company sought to dismiss the Jones Act claims on the
       grounds that the employee was not a "seaman" within the meaning of the
       Jones Act and that the case was governed by the New York Workers'
       Compensation statute. In March 1994, the trial court judge granted the
       Company's motion for a summary judgment that the Jones Act does not
       apply. The decision may be appealed by the plaintiffs in the case.
