Our Story
Before medical waste regulations were enacted in the 1980’s, BWS founder and President Ray Krell managed waste at local doctors’ offices and hospitals in the Baltimore area. After various dangerous incidents on the job, Ray knew he needed to take measure not only to improve his own safety, but also the safety of the customers he served. More about our story.
