THIS FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, dated as of August 26, 1997 (the

corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware

(herein called the "Trustee").
RECITALS OF UNITED AND USA WASTE
United has executed and delivered to the Trustee its Indenture, dated
as of June 5, 1996 (herein called the "Indenture"), to provide for the issuance
of $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4-1/2% Convertible
Subordinated Notes Due June 1, 2001 (the "Securities").
Pursuant to the Indenture, United has issued Securities in an original
principal amount of $150,000,000, all of which are currently outstanding. No
other securities have been issued pursuant to the Indenture.
Effective as of August 26, 1997 (the "Merger Date"), Riviera
Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary
of USA Waste, was merged with and into United pursuant to the provisions of the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "Merger"), as a result of
which United became a wholly-owned subsidiary of USA Waste.
Each share of common stock of United which was issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Merger was, by virtue of the Merger and without any
action on the part of the holder thereof, converted into 1.075 shares of the
common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of USA Waste (the "USA Waste Shares").
In connection with the Merger, United and USA Waste, pursuant to
appropriate resolutions of their respective Boards of Directors, have duly
determined to make, execute and deliver to the Trustee this Supplemental
Indenture in order to reflect the results of the Merger as required by the
Indenture.
Pursuant to Section 12.11 of the Indenture, United, as the survivor in
the Merger, is required to execute and deliver to the Trustee an indenture
supplemental to the Indenture in connection with the Merger.
The Indenture provides that, without the consent of any Holders, United
and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture to make provision with
respect to the conversion rights of Holders pursuant to the requirements of
Article Twelve of the Indenture, and United has determined that this
Supplemental Indenture may therefore be entered into without the consent of any
Holder in accordance with Section 8.1(5) of the Indenture.

United and USA Waste have duly authorized the execution and delivery of
this Supplemental Indenture and all things necessary have been done to make
this Supplemental Indenture a valid agreement of United and USA Waste, in
