Abstract
Sanitary napkin disposal presents a important environmental and health challenge due to inadequate disposal methods, which can lead to issues such as odour, contamination, and spread of disease. This project introduces an automated, microcontroller-based sanitary napkin disposal & Vending machine that addresses these issues by providing a safe and convenient method for disposal. Using sensors, motors, and a heating element (for incineration if applicable), the machine efficiently disposes of napkins. The microcontroller controls the systems, ensuring hygiene and reducing environmental impact.This project demonstrates the effective use of embedded systems in solving real-life problems, promoting menstrual hygiene, privacy, and environmental responsibility. Its application can be extended to schools, colleges, railway stations, public restrooms, and workplaces. Additionally, the modular and low-cost design ensures scalability and adaptability for rural and urban implementation.Keywords: - Micro controller, Automation, Real time control
