        NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Allied Waste Industries,  Inc. ("Allied" or the "Company"), is incorporated
under the laws of the state of  Delaware.  Allied  is a solid  waste  management
company  providing  non-hazardous  waste  collection,  transfer,  recycling  and
disposal services in selected markets.

     The condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of
Allied  and  its  subsidiaries.   All  significant   intercompany  accounts  and
transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated balance
sheet as of December 31, 1997, which has been derived from audited  consolidated
financial statements, and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial
statements  included  herein  have  been  prepared  pursuant  to the  rules  and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). As applicable
under such regulations,  certain information and footnote  disclosures  normally
included in financial  statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting  principles have been condensed or omitted. The Company believes that
the  presentations  and disclosures  herein are adequate to make the information
not misleading when read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K  for the  year  ended  December  31,  1997,  as  restated  for  significant
acquisitions  accounted for as  poolings-of-interests  in its Current  Report on
Form 8-K  filed on  October  29,  1998.  The  condensed  consolidated  financial
statements  as of  September  30, 1998 and for the three  months and nine months
ended  September 30, 1997 and 1998 reflect,  in the opinion of  management,  all
adjustments  (which  include  only normal  recurring  adjustments)  necessary to
fairly state the financial  position and results of operations for such periods.
The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have also
been restated to reflect  acquisitions  accounted  for as  poolings-of-interests
(See Note 2).

     Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the
results for full years. These condensed consolidated financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the consolidated  financial statements of Allied for
the year ended  December 31, 1997 and the related notes thereto  included in the
Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 1998,  as
restated for significant  acquisitions accounted for as poolings-of-interests in
its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 29, 1998.

     There  have been no  significant  additions  to or  changes  in  accounting
policies of the Company  since  December 31, 1997.  For a  description  of these
policies,  see Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year
ended December 31, 1997 in the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K as restated
for  significant  acquisitions  accounted  for as  poolings-of-interests  in its
Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 29, 1998.

     Certain   reclassifications  have  been  made  in  prior  period  financial
statements to conform to the current presentation.
Accounting pronouncement not yet required to be adopted

     In June 1998, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative  Instruments
and Hedging Activities  ("Statement 133").  Statement 133 establishes accounting
and reporting  standards requiring that every derivative  instrument  (including
certain derivative  instruments  embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the
balance  sheet as  either  an asset or  liability  measured  at its fair  value.
Statement 133 requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized
currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special
accounting  for  qualifying  hedges  allows a  derivative's  gains and losses to
offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement,  and requires
that a company formally  document,  designate,  and assess the  effectiveness of
transactions that receive hedge accounting.

                          ALLIED WASTE INDUSTRIES, INC.
 NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)


     Statement 133 is effective for fiscal years  beginning after June 15, 1999.
A company may elect early implementation of Statement 133 as of the beginning of
any fiscal quarter after issuance (that is, fiscal  quarters  beginning June 16,
1998 and thereafter).

     The Company has not yet quantified the impacts of adopting Statement 133 on
its  financial  statements  and has not  determined  the  timing  or  method  of
adoption. However, Statement 133 could increase volatility in earnings and other
comprehensive income.
Acquisition related and non-recurring costs

     Acquisition  related and non-recurring costs of $75.9 million were incurred
in 1998 for transaction and integration  costs directly related to acquisitions.
During  the  third  quarter  of  1998,  the  Company  recorded  a $30.8  million
acquisition   related  and  non-recurring   charge  associated   primarily  with
acquisitions accounted for as poolings-of-interest.  The third quarter charge is
comprised of $16.7  million of  termination  and  severance  costs and retention
bonuses,  $8.7 million of asset  impairments and  abandonments,  $2.6 million of
transaction  related costs, $2.0 million of environmental and compliance related
costs and $0.8 million of other acquisition related costs.
Extraordinary items, net

     In June 1998,  the Company  replaced its credit  facility and recognized an
extraordinary  charge of approximately  $5.1 million ($3.1 million net of income
tax benefit)  related to the  write-off of  previously  deferred  debt  issuance
costs.
         
     On May 15, 1997, the Company  repurchased (the  "Repurchase")  from Laidlaw
Inc.  ("Laidlaw")  and Laidlaw  Transportation,  Inc.,  a $150 million 7% junior
subordinated  debenture ($81.6 million book value), a $168.3 million zero coupon
debenture  ($34.9  million  book value) and a warrant to purchase  20.4  million
shares of common stock ($49.0 million book value), used as partial consideration
for the purchase of  Laidlaw's  solid waste  business in 1996,  for an aggregate
purchase  price of $230  million in cash.  An  extraordinary  charge to earnings
related to the Repurchase of  approximately  $65.7 million ($39.4 million net of
income tax benefit) was recorded in the second quarter of 1997. In addition, the
Company  replaced its $1.275 billion senior credit  facility with a $900 million
senior credit facility on June 5, 1997 and recognized an extraordinary charge of
approximately  $21.6  million  ($13.0  million net of income tax benefit) in the
second quarter of 1997.

     On September 30, 1997, the Company sold 18.6 million shares of common stock
with net proceeds of approximately $327.4 million. The Company used $203 million
of the net proceeds to retire a portion of the term loan  facility of the credit
agreement,  $71 million to repay the entire amount  outstanding on the revolving
credit  facility and used the remaining  proceeds for  acquisitions  and general
corporate purposes. As a result of the early repayment of debt outstanding under
the term loan  facility,  the  Company  recognized  an  extraordinary  charge of
approximately  $1.3 million ($0.8 million net of income tax benefit)  related to
the write-off of previously deferred debt issuance costs in the third quarter of
1997.

2.  BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND DIVESTITURES

         Acquisitions accounted for as purchases are reflected in the results of
operations  since  the  date of  purchase  in  Allied's  condensed  consolidated
financial statements.  The results of operations for acquisitions  accounted for
as  poolings-of-interests   are  included  in  Allied's  condensed  consolidated
financial  statements for all periods presented.  Often, the final determination
of  the  cost,  and  the  allocation   thereof,  of  certain  of  the  Company's
acquisitions  is  subject to  resolution  of  certain  contingencies.  Once such
contingencies are resolved, the purchase price is adjusted.

         The following table  summarizes  acquisitions for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1998:

         In the first nine months of 1998, the Company  acquired 16 companies in
transactions  accounted  for as  poolings-of-interests.  Prior period  financial
statements have been restated to include historical  operating results for 14 of
the companies  acquired in the first nine months of 1998 that were accounted for
as a  pooling-of-interests.  As the effect of two of these business combinations
was not  significant,  prior period  financial  statements  were not restated to
include  historical  operating  results  of these two  acquired  companies.  The

Unaudited pro forma income statement data

         The following  unaudited pro forma consolidated data for the year ended
December  31, 1997 and the nine months  ended  September  30, 1998  presents the
results of operations  of Allied as if the companies  purchased and sold in 1997
and  through  September  30,  1998,  had all  occurred as of January 1, 1997 (in
thousands,  except per share data). In addition,  the pro forma data reflect the
issuance of 18.6 million shares of common stock in the Equity Offering completed
September 30, 1997, as if it had occurred on January 1, 1997. This data does not
purport to be  indicative of the results of operations of Allied that might have
occurred during the periods indicated nor that might occur in the future.

3.  NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

         Net income per common share is  calculated  by dividing net income less
dividend  requirements  on  preferred  stock by the weighted  average  number of
common shares and common share  equivalents  outstanding  during each period, as
restated to reflect  acquisitions  accounted for as  poolings-of-interests.  The
computation  of basic  earnings  per share and diluted  earnings per share is as
