Here, the waste list may list the wastes in the order of the progress status of the collection waiting, collection in progress, and collection completion. The second user can check the waste number, waste status, location and registration date of the waste in the collection waiting state through the waste list, and check the waste number, waste state, location and reservation date of the waste in the collection status. You can check the waste number, the waste status (collected status), the location of the waste, and the collection date of the waste in the collected status.

When the second user selects the check 80 shown in FIG. 3 , the application screen is converted to the screen shown in FIG. 13 , and waste information can be provided to the second user through a period search. That is, when the second user selects a period (ie, start date and end date) for which the second user wants to confirm, and selects at least one of collection waiting, collection in progress, and collection completion, the second user selects the selected period during the input period. Information on waste in progress can be checked on a map. For example, as shown in FIG. 13 , when the second user selects the start date as 1 day and the end date as 15 days, and selects only waiting for the progress status, the server 10 registers within 1 to 15 days. It is possible to extract only the waste that is still in a state of waiting for collection from among the collected waste and provide it to the second user as a map.

As described above, when the second user is provided with the location of the waste on the map, as shown in FIG. 5 , the second user selects a pin corresponding to the location of a specific waste and displays information on the waste through the pop-up window 711 (of the waste). location, picture of waste, weight of waste, etc.) can be checked in preview. In this case, the second user may select the white car icon 712 in the pop-up window 711 to make a reservation for the corresponding waste. Specifically, when the second user selects the white car icon 712 , waste information that was displayed as a small preview may be converted to a large screen and displayed. After checking the waste information displayed on the large screen, the user may make a reservation for the waste by selecting a collection reservation button included in a specific location (eg, lower left) of the screen.

After making a collection reservation by inputting the expected collection date for the specific waste, the second user must complete the collection of the specific waste before the input scheduled date of collection. If the second user does not complete the collection of the specific waste within a preset period based on the scheduled collection date, the server 10 may cancel the collection reservation for the specific waste. For example, if the second user makes a reservation to collect specific waste by January 5, but does not collect the waste after 3 days, which is a preset period, the server 10 cancels the collection reservation of the second user. Cancel.
