Waste sorting and disposal method using labels

This invention describes a system for sorting waste, specifically focusing on drugs for disposal. It works by identifying a drug, looking up its classification in a computer database, and then generating a label with specific waste disposal instructions for that drug or its container. The system can also track how full waste containers are and prevent access to discarded items.

Why it matters: Filed before cloud computing and advanced APIs simplified managing complex, dynamic regulatory databases for drug disposal. Modern IoT sensors and ubiquitous connectivity also make distributed waste monitoring more feasible.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedDatabase, sensors, label printer, sorting mechanism.
