The board of medical clinic squanders is a difficult activity in this cutting-edge occupied planet. It is believed that a lot of labor will be required to put them together. In many emergency clinics, the arranging system does not work as it should. To conquer these issues, this method is approached with an answer which is an exceptionally helpful technique to arrange the waste by securely isolating them. The proposed system isolates as well as sends those isolated wastes to their businesses for reusing. This technique utilizes three distinct sensors: inductive proximity, capacitive proximity, ultrasonic sensor, and Arduino. Metal is detected by the inductive proximity sensor, plastic rubbish is detected by the capacitive proximity sensor, and miscellaneous debris is detected by the infrared sensor. The bin level is determined using an ultrasonic sensor, which is a distance-identifying sensor. After the segregation process, the ultrasonic sensor sends data to the Arduino if the bin is full. The data are stored in a cloud server and the stored data are sent as a message to the health care department using the IoT technique. This way, the waste is securely isolated and the reusable waste was sent for recycling.
