To provide safe, reliable, and cost-effective medical waste disposal and consulting services built on personal relationships, regulatory expertise, and a commitment to doing right by every facility we serve.
What Sets Us Apart
Our Program
40+ Years of Expertise Since 1985, we’ve navigated every regulatory change, industry shift, and compliance update in California medical waste management. That depth of experience translates into fewer headaches for your team.
Family-Owned, Independently Operated We answer to our clients — not shareholders or corporate boards. Our decisions are driven by what’s right for the facilities we serve, not quarterly targets.
Direct Access to Decision-Makers Need to adjust your pickup schedule? Have a compliance question at 4:00 on a Friday? You’ll reach someone who can actually help — not a phone tree.
California Compliance Specialists We don’t just pick up waste. We help you manage it correctly — with staff training, waste-stream assessments, and documentation practices that keep you ahead of regulators.

Our Story
Four Decades of Trusted Service
Bio Waste Resources was founded in 1985 by the Visser family with a simple premise: healthcare facilities deserve medical waste service that’s both professional and personal.
What began as a local operation in Northern California has grown into a trusted partner for healthcare providers, laboratories, pharmacies, and public agencies across the state. Over four decades, we’ve built our reputation one facility at a time — through reliable pickups, transparent pricing, and the kind of responsive support that only a dedicated team can deliver.
Today, BWR remains family-owned and independently operated. That independence means our priorities haven’t changed: your compliance, your safety, and your satisfaction come first — every pickup, every time.
