March 26, 1996 ... GeoWaste Incorporated (NASDAQ:GEOW) today announced that it

$1.7 million.  The acquisition is expected to add $380,000 of operating cash
flow annually to GeoWaste.

Kevin R. Kohn, President and Chief Executive Officer said,

      "We are pleased with the addition of the North Florida operations which
      will add to our activities in the Jacksonville/St. Augustine market as
