Campos to the position of President and CEO and was made a member of the Board of Directors. Mr. Campos has been Acting CEO at Med/Waste, Inc. since March 17, 1999.

Mr. Campos' background includes the unique combination of both hands-on and leadership roles in all medical waste operations with a focus on acquisitions. He founded MedX, Inc., in 1980, a Company providing medical waste services to hospitals and other generators of medical waste.

In accepting the position of CEO, Mr. Campos commented, "I look forward to playing a key role in Med/Waste, Inc.'s future plans for growth and profitability. During my six-month tenure with the Company, I have been afforded the opportunity to study the organization and to strategize a plan of action which will enhance Med/Waste's operations and position the Company to benefit from potentially advantageous opportunities in this highly fragmented industry."

Mr. Daniel Stauber resigned as President and CEO, and as director, to pursue other opportunities. Mr. Stauber stated, "I am proud of having built Med/Waste into the third largest public medical waste company. I have confidence that under Carlos Campos' direction the Company will move forward and reach new levels of success. "
