USA Waste Services, Inc.
1001 Fannin, Suite 4000
Houston, Texas  77002

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We have acted as counsel to USA Waste Services, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("USA Waste"), in connection with the preparation of the
Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement") filed on
February 3, 1997, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act") pursuant to Rule 462(b), with respect to (a) USA Waste's (i) unsecured
debt securities ("Debt Securities"), in one or more series, which may be senior
or subordinated in priority of payment, any of which may be convertible or
exchangeable into common stock, par value $.01 per share, of USA Waste ("Common
Stock") and (ii) shares of Common Stock (such Debt Securities and Common Stock
are collectively referred to herein as the "Securities"), which Securities may
be issued from time to time pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act for
an aggregate initial offering price not to exceed $89,212,500.

         We have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise
identified to our satisfaction, of (i) the Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws of USA Waste, each as amended to the date hereof, (ii)
the Senior Indenture (the "Senior Indenture") to be entered into between USA
Waste and a trustee, in the form included as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement, (iii) the Senior Subordinated Indenture (the "Subordinated
Indenture") to be entered into between USA Waste and a trustee, in the form
included as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, and (iv) such other
certificates, statutes and other instruments and documents as we considered
appropriate for purposes of the opinions hereafter expressed.

         In connection with this opinion, we have assumed that (i) the
Registration Statement, and any amendments thereto (including post-effective
amendments), will have become effective; (ii) a Prospectus Supplement will have
been prepared and filed with the Commission describing the Securities offered
thereby; (iii) all Securities will be issued and sold in compliance with
applicable federal and state securities laws and in the manner described in the
Registration Statement and the applicable Prospectus Supplement; (iv) the
Senior Indenture and the Subordinated Indenture will each be duly authorized,
executed and delivered by USA Waste and a trustee qualified under the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "TIA"), in substantially the form
reviewed by us; (v) a definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement 
with respect to any Securities offered will have been duly authorized and 
validly

executed and delivered by USA Waste and the other parties thereto; and (vi) any
Securities issuable upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Security being
offered will have been duly authorized, created and, if appropriate, reserved
for issuance upon such conversion, exchange or exercise.
        
         Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

         1.      USA Waste has been duly incorporated and is validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

         2.      With respect to Debt Securities to be issued under the Senior
Indenture, when (i) the Board of Directors of USA Waste or, to the extent
permitted by Section 141 of the Delaware General Corporation Act (the "DGCL"), a
duly constituted and acting committee thereof (such Board of Directors or
committee being referred to herein as the "Board") has taken all necessary
corporate action to approve the issuance and terms of such Debt Securities, the
terms of the offering thereof and related matters; (ii) the terms of such Debt
Securities and of their issuance and sale have been established so as not to
violate any applicable law or result in a default under or breach of any
agreement or instrument binding upon USA Waste and so as to comply with any
requirement or restriction imposed by any court or governmental body having
jurisdiction over USA Waste; and (iii) such Debt Securities have been duly
executed, authenticated, issued and delivered in accordance with the provisions
of the Senior Indenture and in accordance with the applicable definitive
purchase, underwriting or similar agreement approved by the Board upon payment
of the consideration provided for therein, such Debt Securities will be legally
issued and will constitute valid and binding obligations of USA Waste,
enforceable against USA Waste in accordance with their terms, except as such
enforcement is subject to any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization
or other law relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally and general
principles of equity and will be entitled to the benefits of the Senior
Indenture.

         3.      With respect to Debt Securities to be issued under the
Subordinated Indenture, when such Debt Securities have been duly executed,
authenticated, issued and delivered in accordance with the provisions of the
Subordinated Indenture and in accordance with the applicable definitive
purchase, underwriting or similar agreement approved by the Board upon payment
of the consideration provided for therein, such Debt Securities will be legally
issued and will constitute valid and binding obligations of USA Waste,
enforceable against USA Waste in accordance with their terms, except as such
enforcement is subject to any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization
or other law relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally and general
principles of equity and will be entitled to the benefits of the Subordinated
Indenture.

         4.      With respect to shares of Common Stock, when certificates 
representing the shares of Common Stock have been duly executed, countersigned,
registered and delivered either (a) in accordance with the applicable definitive
purchase, underwriting or similar agreement approved by the Board upon payment
of the consideration therefor (not less than the par value of the Common Stock)
provided for therein, or (b) upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any other
Security in accordance with the terms of such Security or the instrument
governing such Security providing for such conversion, exchange or exercise as
approved by the Board, for the consideration approved by the Board (not less
than the par value of the Common Stock and, in the case of shares of Common
Stock issued upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of another security, the
consideration specified in Section 153 of the DGCL), the shares of Common Stock
will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

         The foregoing opinions are limited in all respects to the laws of the
State of New York, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and
federal laws.

         We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.  By giving such consent, we do not admit that we are
within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the
Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission issued
thereunder.

                                        Very truly yours,
