ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

         On August 15, 1997, KTI, Inc. (the "Company" or the "Registrant")
amended its revolving line of credit with KeyBank of New York, increasing the
amount of the line from $1 million to $6 million and extending its maturity to
April 30, 1997. The line of credit may be used for general working capital
purposes, issuance of letters of credit and bridge financings for acquisitions.
Bridge financings may not exceed six months or exceed $1.5 million without (a)
approved takeout financing in place or (b) prior approval from KeyBank of New
York. Loan proceeds may not be used for permanent capital investments in
subsidiaries or related parties. The line of credit has an unused facility fee
of 1/8%. The interest rate on borrowed funds is the base rate of KeyBank of New
York plus 3/4% per annum. The line of credit is secured by the assets of the
Company and its subsidiaries, other than assets of subsidiaries pledged under
project financing.

         On August 12, 1997, the Company sold Timber Energy Plastic Recycling,
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("TEPRI"), to the management of TEPRI for $30,000
in cash and a $250,000 8% promissory note due on November 10, 1997. In the first
six months of 1997, TEPRI had revenue of $1,118,000 and losses of $392,000.
TEPRI was acquired by the Company as part of the acquisition of Timber Energy
Resources, Inc. which owns and operates a wood waste burning power plant in
Telogia, Florida and a wood chip mill in Cairo, Georgia.
