On Tuesday, Oct. 17, 2023, the Maryland Attorney General’s Office and other officials announced that a medical waste processing company has pleaded guilty to a litany of environmental crimes and agreed to pay $1.75 million in fines after state prosecutors accused a south Baltimore incineration plant of exposing the public to bio-hazardous material.
