EXPLANATORY NOTE

     Effective July 31, 2004, Waste Services (CA) Inc. (formerly Capital Environmental Resource Inc.), or Capital Environmental, completed a migration transaction pursuant to which its corporate structure was reorganized so that Waste Services, Inc., or Waste Services, its Delaware subsidiary, became the ultimate parent company of the Capital Environmental corporate group. The migration transaction occurred by way of a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). Pursuant to the plan of arrangement, common shares of Capital Environmental were either: (1) exchanged for shares of Waste Services common stock by certain eligible holders; or (2) were converted into Capital Environmental exchangeable shares. As a result of the migration transaction, Capital Environmental Holdings Company, a wholly owned Nova Scotia subsidiary held by Waste Services, is the sole shareholder of Capital Environmental. Accordingly, Capital Environmental’s common shares are held of record by less than 300 persons. This Form 15 is being filed to terminate the registration of common shares of Capital Environmental.

     The common stock of Waste Services is quoted on the Nasdaq National Market and trades under the symbol “WSII.”
