                                  AMENDMENT TO
                          ALLIED WASTE INDUSTRIES, INC.
                      EXECUTIVE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
                  AND 2005 EXECUTIVE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

      THIS AMENDMENT is made and entered into on December 29, 2005, by Allied
Waste Industries, Inc. ("Company").

                                R E C I T A L S:

      1. Company maintains the Allied Waste Industries, Inc. Executive Deferred
Compensation Plan ("Grandfathered Plan"), which is a non-qualified deferred
compensation plan;

      2. Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code imposes new requirements on
non-qualified deferred compensation plans effective January 1, 2005, but
generally exempts from these new requirements amounts that were
deferred/contributed and vested prior to January 1, 2005;

      3. Company has established a new non-qualified deferred compensation plan,
entitled the Allied Waste Industries, Inc. 2005 Executive Deferred Compensation
Plan ("2005 Plan"), effective December 1, 2004, which is intended to comply with
Code Section 409A, to accept deferrals/contributions for 2005 and later calendar
years;

      4. Company has reserved the right to amend the Grandfathered Plan and the
2005 Plan in whole or in part; and

      5. Company intends to amend the Grandfathered Plan to memorialize the
freezing of the Plan effective January 1, 2005, and intends to amend the
Grandfathered Plan and the 2005 Plan to provide for certain other changes which
are permitted under the transitional rules issued by the Internal Revenue
Service in Notice 2005-1.

      THEREFORE, the Company hereby adopts this Amendment as follows:

                                                                               1

<PAGE>

      1. Effective January 1, 2005, the Grandfathered Plan shall be frozen. No
new participants shall be admitted to the Grandfathered Plan on or after January
1, 2005. No new deferrals or contributions shall be made to the Grandfathered
Plan on or after January 1, 2005. Under the terms of the Grandfathered Plan (as
in effect on October 3, 2004), participants were fully vested in all amounts
deferred and contributed to the Grandfathered Plan (other than Restricted Stock
Units).

      2. The Grandfathered Plan and the 2005 Plan are hereby amended to permit
each participant who elected to defer Restricted Stock Units ("RSU") to (a)
revoke one or more RSU deferral elections (in which case the amount(s) deferred
by the revoked deferral election(s) will be paid to the participant no later
than the later of December 31, 2005 or the date the RSUs would otherwise vest
and be payable absent the deferral election), (b) affirm one or more RSU
deferral elections (in which case all affirmed deferral election(s) will be
treated as made under the 2005 Plan and the amounts deferred under those
deferral election(s) will be paid pursuant to the payment date(s) then in effect
and the terms of the 2005 Plan), or (c) affirm one or more RSU deferral
election(s) and modify the payment date(s) for those election(s) (in which case
all affirmed and modified deferral election(s) will be treated as made under the
2005 Plan and the amounts deferred under those deferral elections will be paid
pursuant to the modified payment date(s) and the terms of the 2005 Plan). The
Grandfathered Plan and the 2005 Plan are further amended to permit certain
participants listed on Exhibit A to this Amendment to elect to revoke all
deferral elections under the Grandfathered Plan and the 2005 Plan, in which case
the amounts deferred by the terminated deferral elections will be paid to those
participants not later than the later of December 31, 2005 or the date on which
the amounts would otherwise be payable absent the deferral elections. Should
these participants not elect to revoke all deferral elections, all amounts
deferred shall be treated as having

                                                                               2

been deferred under the 2005 Plan and will be paid pursuant to the payment dates
then in effect and the terms of the 2005 Plan.

      3. The Effective Date of this Amendment shall be January 1, 2005.

      4. Except as amended, all of the terms and conditions of the Grandfathered
Plan and the 2005 Plan shall remain in full force and effect.

                 AMENDMENT TO THE ALLIED WASTE INDUSTRIES, INC.
               PERFORMANCE-ACCELERATED RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT
                         (UNDER THE AMENDED AND RESTATED
                           1991 INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN)

      THIS AMENDMENT ("Amendment") is made on December 30, 2005, by and between
ALLIED WASTE INDUSTRIES, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Company") and the
individual specified below ("Grantee").

                                R E C I T A L S:

      The Company granted shares of restricted stock to Grantee pursuant to a
Performance-Accelerated Restricted Stock Agreement ("PARSAP Agreement").

      The Management Development/Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors ("Committee") determined that it would be in the best interests of the
Company and its stockholders to amend the PARSAP Agreement to modify certain
provisions with respect to the vesting of the Restricted Stock granted therein.

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set
forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

      1. Section 4 of the PARSAP Agreement is amended in its entirety to read as
follows:

            4. Effect of Termination of Employment. Except as may be otherwise
      specifically provided in this Agreement, if Grantee's employment with the
      Company is terminated for any reason, all unvested Award Shares at the
      time of Grantee's termination of employment shall be forfeited upon
      Grantee's date of termination. If Grantee's employment with the Company is
      terminated as the result of his Disability or death, any unvested Award
      Shares shall become fully and immediately vested and will be paid to
      Grantee's beneficiary.

            If Grantee's employment with the Company is terminated by Grantee
      for Good Reason or by the Company without Cause, then (a) if Grantee is
      also employed by the Company in the position of Chief Executive Officer,
      President, Executive Vice President or Senior Vice President as of his
      date of termination, Grantee shall continue to vest in his Award Shares
      for a period of three (3) years following his termination of employment,
      as if he had remained employed by the Company during that period or (b) if
      Grantee is also employed by the Company in the position of Regional Vice
      President or Vice President as of his date of termination, Grantee shall
      continue to vest in his Award Shares for a period of two (2) years
      following his termination of employment, as if he had remained employed by
      the Company during that period. "Cause" shall be as defined in the Plan.
      "Good Reason" shall mean a termination by Grantee due to the Company's
      taking any action which results in a material diminishment in Grantee's
      position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements),
      authority, duties or responsibilities (provided, however, that a temporary
      diminishment, whether material or not, due to Grantee's illness or injury
      will not constitute grounds for a termination for Good Reason).

<PAGE>

            If Grantee's employment with the Company is terminated as the result
      of his Retirement, or by the Company without Cause, at any time after
      December 31, 2004, any unvested Award Shares at the time of Grantee's
      termination of employment (or, if applicable, at the time the
      post-employment vesting period ends) shall become vested on a pro rata
      basis, based on the number of full calendar months completed since the
      Date of Grant, as a fraction of the 10-year period following the Date of
      Grant.

            Those Award Shares for which vesting is not accelerated pursuant to
      the terms of this Section 4 or of Section 13 shall be forfeited upon
      Grantee's date of termination (or, if applicable, at the end of the
      post-employment vesting period); provided, however, that the Committee, in
      its discretion, may decide to accelerate the vesting of any otherwise
      forfeitable Award Shares.

      2. Effective January 1, 2005, Section 8(a) of the PARSAP Agreement is
amended by deleting Section 8(a) in its entirety.

      3. Except as may otherwise be specified herein, the effective date of this
Amendment shall be December 30, 2005.

      4. Except as specifically amended, all of the terms and conditions of the
PARSAP Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has, as of the date first above written,
caused this Agreement to be executed on its behalf by its duly authorized
officer, and Grantee has hereunder set his hand as of the date first above
written.
