Therefore, it is necessary for the collection requester to judge whether the general waste collection / transportation licenser, industrial waste collection / transportation licenser, or recycler is to be performed according to the type of collected items. It is very difficult to judge.

Further, even when the collection company is finally located and contacted, each collection company first checks the number of collection vehicles having the number of collection vehicles, the number of collection persons, and the collection price. This requires a lot of labor and time, such as going to the client's home, making an estimate, and going to the collection at a later date.

[0007] In addition, since the collection companies are not cooperating, it is necessary to go to the collection for each client.
Recovery costs increase.

[0008] In addition, when there are a plurality of types of collected products,
It was necessary to request a different collection company for each type of collection product, which was inefficient.

[0009]

Further, in this collection schedule determination step, other information required for collection, such as required vehicles required in the schedule, is also determined.

Next, when the collection schedule is determined,
Select a collection company that actually performs collection (step S1).
3). First, referring to the collection item information DB 27, the type of collection company corresponding to the collection items, such as a general waste collection / transportation permitted company, an industrial waste collection / transportation permitted company, and a recycling company, is determined. Then, after that, the collection company to actually request is selected from the data stored in the collection company information DB 29.

Then, in order to request the collection company to perform the collection, a collection request mail is sent to the collection company terminal device P3 informing the collection item, the collection weight, the collection address, the collection time zone, the collection date, the collection fee, etc. ( Step S14).

When the collection company is determined, the collection date and time, the details of the collection, and information on the person in charge of collection, such as a name and a face photograph, are added to the collection requester to inform the collection requester that the collection is confirmed. The described collection date and time e-mail is transmitted (step S15).

When the collection requester who has received the collection date and time e-mail does not wish to collect the collection date on his / her own convenience, a mail to that effect is sent to the center device P2.
Send to The center device P2 receiving the mail,
The collection request information is deleted, and the collection schedule is determined so that the collection can be performed from another desired date.

When the collection company completes the requested collection,
The center device P2 receives the collection end mail transmitted from the collection company terminal device P3 and indicating that collection has been completed (step S16).

With the above-described configuration, a plurality of request statuses can be grasped by the center device P2, and a plurality of collection requests, for example, in one area, can be collectively collected at one time. In addition, efficient scheduling can be performed, which leads to a reduction in the collection cost and a reduction in the collection fee, and a meaningful system S can be provided to the collection requester and the collection company.

In addition, by unifying the windows, the client does not need to judge the type of the collection company based on the collection item, and the collection can be easily requested.

Further, since the desired date and time is confirmed, it is possible to claim the collection and the cost without fail on that day.

Further, by accumulating the collection request information, it is possible to easily collect a large amount of extremely useful information that can be used for marketing and the like.

In addition, the collection schedule determination means 24 determines a schedule within a range that can be collected within a set time, thereby making it possible to construct an efficient schedule that is easy to receive requests.

Further, by setting the collection item included in the collection request information as an item to be selected from predetermined ones, it is possible to associate the collection item with the collection company type in advance and easily select the collection company.
