The management of health care waste is a subject of considerable concern to public health and infections-control specialists, as well as the general public. Careless disposal of wastes may lead to transmission of communicable disease spreading through air, water and direct human contact with blood and infections of body fluids. Diseases are spread by improper treatment and disposal of wastes while handling items like needles, surgical gloves, blood bags. This paper is about segregation of medical waste automatically instead of the conventional colour coding method. Colour codes cannot be memorised by any one and interpreted correctly. There is also a possibility of infections when hospital staff try to dispose the waste themselves without the knowledge of becoming infected. So to prevent the disease spreading and color-codes identifications, we have proposed the idea to develop an automated waste segregation unit without human contact.
