			INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

Item 2.	Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

	On November 24, 1999, Waste Connections, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("WCI"), filed a Form 8-K describing its acquisition on
November 17, 1999, of all of the outstanding capital stock of
Denver Regional Landfill, Inc. ("DRL"), a Colorado corporation
wholly owned by Allied Waste Systems Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Allied Waste Industries, Inc., and the acquisition on
November 17, 1999, by Waste Connections of Colorado, Inc., a
Delaware corporation that is a wholly owned subsidiary of WCI, of
certain assets (the "Business") from Allied Waste Transportation
Inc., which is wholly owned by Allied Waste Industries, Inc.


Item 7.	Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and
Exhibits.

	Certain financial statements of DRL and the Business and
certain pro forma financial information of WCI were not available
when WCI filed the Form 8-K on November 24, 1999, and therefore
were not included in that filing.  WCI has since determined, after
a thorough analysis by WCI and its independent auditors of the
historical results of operations of DRL and the Business, that the
financial statements of DRL and the Business and the related pro
forma financial information of WCI are not required to be included
herein because the acquisition of DRL and the Business was not
significant as defined by Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X.
