With the increasing amount of medical waste generated worldwide, disposal of medical waste has become important given the potential risks to the environment and public health. Segregation refers to the basic sorting of different categories of waste from a particular source, thereby reducing the risks and costs of treatment and disposal. Sorting is the most important step in biomedical waste disposal. There are four main types of waste: general waste, infectious waste, hazardous waste, and radioactive waste. To overcome all these problems, we propose the idea of a solar-powered waste sorting bin for waste management system that supports automatic waste management without human intervention to keep the environment clean. The system helps monitor and control waste management and reduces human intervention, operating automatically without manual intervention. This system is also useful mainly for obtaining complete and accurate statistics on the health center’s consumption of medical materials used in that center on a daily basis, and this information is sent to the concerned party without the need to use manual counting, and this saves effort and money. Discussed results depicts that the proposed work is adaptive in environment with a large and variable medical waste where the separating metallic waste from non-metallic waste. The performance of the designed and implemented work shows that the high accuracy rate of waste containers in the best case.
