As technology grows, there are many technologies to prevent diseases. Nowadays, medical waste disposal is a major environmental problem. Medical waste contains harmful substances that can cause severe human health issues if it is not disposed of and treated properly. In this project, we propose an IoT-based smart medical waste management system, that relies on Arduino parts and ESP -8266. This allows the waste to be disposed of in respective allotted places. An IR sensor is used to track the path of the robot with dispose of the waste. In order to stop the spread of infections and to educate the community this project is done. In this project, Arduino-based line- following robots are used to automatically dispose of medical waste at appropriate locations without human aid. After the disposing process is completed, some wastes are used to recycling. By using IoT technology, In this way, the problem of medical waste disposal in medical centers may be reduced to the level of low-risk waste.
