      FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: THURSDAY, JULY 23, 1998

      KIMMINS  CORP.  AND  TRANSCOR  WASTE SERVICES,  INC.,  ANNOUNCES  SALE OF
      KIMMINS RECYCLING CORP.

      
      TAMPA, FLORIDA,  THURSDAY, JULY 23, 1998...TransCor  Waste Services, Inc.
      and Kimmins Corp. (NYSE: KVN)

      TransCor Waste Services, Inc. President, Mr. Joseph M. Williams announced
      today  that, "The  common stock  of our  solid waste  subsidiary, Kimmins
      Recycling  Corp.,  will  be  sold to  Eastern  Environmental  Services of
      Florida,  Inc. This transaction, along  with the prior  sale of the Miami
      and  Jacksonville  operations, results  in a  total  sale price  of $62.7
      million to  be  paid in  cash  and stock."    Mr. Williams  added,  "Both
      companies have executed a definitive agreement and closing is expected by
      August 31, 1998."

      Mr.  Williams added,  "Earlier this  year, we  sold our  Jacksonville and
      Miami  operations to  Eastern Environmental.  That transaction  opened up
      negotiations for  the sale of the balance of our solid waste business and
      led us  to  re-examine our  long-range plans  as a  regional solid  waste
      company in Florida.   The  combined transaction exits  TransCor from  the
      solid  waste  industry and  provides  additional  cash for  other  future
      opportunities."

      The   closing  of  this  transaction  is  subject  to  customary  closing
      conditions and certain governmental approvals.

      TransCor, a regional solid waste and recycling company, provides services
      to commercial,  industrial, and  residential  customers in  the state  of
      Florida.    TransCor's    services    include    transfer,    collection,
