How We Are Serving Our Community During COVID-19

COVID-19 has changed the way that we work and the way that we live. What’s important in times like this is to remember how resilient we are and how we can work together to keep each other safe.

Here at BWS, we continue to take actions throughout our operation to ensure safe and reliable services are available now more than ever.

Together, on the frontlines we are making a difference going above and beyond to protect our community.

BWS is Here for Our Community

In response to the rapidly evolving pandemic, we developed many resources to help combat the spread. We promptly partnered with many county health departments around the state, local hospital pop up testing sites, and various primary care and urgent care facilities around the region to provide critical and immediate services needed surrounding the continued outbreak. As the spread has persisted and many of our customers remaining operational as critical infrastructure, we recognized the need of their staff and patients to feel safe in their working environment. To assist, we’ve augmented comprehensive decontamination, remediation, and emergency response services for our customers that help keep the population safe from the novel coronavirus as well as many other contaminants. Our knowledgeable partners are made up of experts in decontamination who have extensive experience in managing and handling biomedical waste. Whether it’s a known COVID-19 contamination, suspected exposure, or as a precaution, we offer various response options to ensure that you and your employees are safe.

We’re Taking Every Precaution

The handling and disposal of biomedical waste is highly regulated and during these difficult times, it’s even more important that we all go the extra mile to keep one another safe. As we work with our customers to handle their waste taking many precautionary measures within our day-to-day operations, there are extra precautions we partnered with the Healthcare Waste Institute to establish for customers when handling potential or known coronavirus infected medical waste. healthcare waste precautions

I would definitely recommend BWS to anyone in the market for waste disposal at a great price with excellent service.”

They were responsive and quickly start services. They were also great at answering all my questions and updating on when services would start.

Rebecca Crouse, Randolph Macon Academy

We used BWS for sharps disposal at a doctor's office. I saw their bright truck in the parking lot at work which lead me to call for a quote. They responded to my inquiry quickly and thoroughly, answering all my questions. They gave me pricing that was very reasonable, and lower than many companies I checked. They were a pleasure to communicate with via phone and email, no phone tag! The truck arrived the day and time we planned. The driver was very personable and easy to communicate with. The people I interacted with seem to understand the value of customer service. I would highly recommend them. They will take care of you.

I ran a dental charity for many years, organizing huge clinics to treat those in need. BWS donated their waste disposal services for every clinic for many years, and they continue to do so to this day. This is always a huge job, and they are always reliable, dedicated, and fun to work with. They know what it means to give back.
