ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.
Since December 31, 1995, USA Waste Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries
("USA Waste" and, together with its subsidiaries, the "Company") have acquired
a number of businesses (the "Acquired Businesses") which on an individual basis
were not deemed significant for purposes of Regulation S-X. In the aggregate,
however, the Acquired Businesses became significant for purposes of Regulation
S-X on September 12, 1996.
The assets of the Acquired Businesses included 17 transfer stations, 13
landfills, 70 collection companies and 3 recycling businesses throughout the
United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. The aggregate consideration paid for
the Acquired Businesses was approximately $484,977,000, consisting of
$221,950,000 in cash, 5,679,912 shares of Common Stock of USA Waste,
1,118,134 shares of Common Stock of Sanifill, Inc. (a subsidiary of USA Waste)
and $68,852,000 in notes or similar obligations. The cash portion of the
purchase consideration was made available through draw downs of the Company's
existing credit facilities.
The consideration paid for the Acquired Businesses was determined
through negotiations between the Company and representatives of the Acquired
Businesses.

between (i) any of the Acquired Businesses or their shareholders, on the one

None of the Acquired Businesses are individually material to the results
of operations or financial condition of the Company. However, the acquisition
of the Acquired Businesses may require the filing of financial statements and
