Description

  The present invention relates to a waste management system and a waste management method for collecting waste discharged from a plurality of dischargers and managing information on the dischargers and wastes, and a storage medium for storing waste management information.

  In recent years, since the amount of waste has increased, the waste processing capacity has decreased with respect to the amount of waste due to a lack of waste incineration capacity and a decrease in the remaining capacity of the waste landfill. For this reason, this increase in the amount of waste has become a chronic social problem, and the reduction of waste emissions has become an urgent issue for society as a whole. Conventionally, most of the waste discharged from households and business establishments (such as food waste, oversized waste, and resource waste) is sent to the dumps that are determined on the day of garbage collection, and is treated with taxes regardless of the amount of discharge. Yes. However, in such a system, the amount charged is uniformly fixed regardless of the amount of waste discharged, and the discharger does not pay the fee directly. There was no problem. Thus, in order to solve this problem, in recent years, a method of charging according to the amount of waste discharged has been studied. There are several charging methods as described below, each of which is proposed or executed.

  The first method is to sell designated garbage bags for a fee. In this method, a waste bag used for discharging waste is designated, and the discharger purchases a waste bag according to the amount of waste discharged (hereinafter referred to as a designated bag type). In recent years, this method has been increasingly introduced. In the case of this first method, it can be introduced with little change to the existing collection system and is relatively easy to implement.

  The second method is to give information specifying the discharger to the garbage bag and measure the weight of the garbage bag in which the garbage is packed at the time of collecting the garbage (hereinafter referred to as a bag specific measurement type). Information can be given to identify the discharger by a method in which the discharger enters his / her name or household name in the garbage bag (hereinafter referred to as the name method), or a sticker printed with barcode information predetermined for each household. Is distributed to each house, and this sticker is attached to a garbage bag (hereinafter referred to as a bar code method). The garbage bags can be weighed with a weighing device specially provided in the garbage collection vehicle at the time of collecting the garbage bags, or the collection workers can measure the garbage bags using a known weighing scale. Or At this time, in order to associate the waste bag weighing data with the discharger, the collection operator reads the name information for identifying the discharger and inputs it to the information processing apparatus, or reads the barcode information with the barcode reader. . Such a method is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-23002. In addition, examples of sending waste collection status information from waste collection vehicles to an information center that manages the amount of waste in the area by satellite communication are also available on the 11th page of the Nikkei Sangyo Shimbun September 7, 2000 and the Nihon Kogyo Shimbun August 2000. It is shown on the 5th page of the 7th issue. In the case of this second method, it becomes possible to grasp how much garbage is discharged for each household.

  As a third method, there is a method described in Japanese Patent Application No. 2000-318230 by the present applicant. In this method, a trash can installed in each household is provided with a weighing means and a transmission means, and the amount of waste discharged measured for each household by the weighing means is transmitted by the transmission means, and is collected and managed by the information center. Yes (hereinafter referred to as home weighing type). In the case of this third method, the amount of waste discharged by each discharger is automatically grasped by an automatic weighing type waste bin installed in each home and connected to the information center via a network, so it is collected like a bag-specific type. It does not increase the burden on the worker or require a special collection vehicle. Therefore, the applicability to the existing collection system is high.

As the fourth method, there is a method disclosed in JP-A-10-167404. This method includes an identification unit, a weighing unit, and a determination unit (hereinafter referred to as a discharger identification type) in a garbage disposal apparatus installed in an apartment or a town. In this method, whether or not the user can use the waste disposal apparatus is identified by the identification means, and the garbage of the person identified as the person who can use the waste is measured by the weighing means. Furthermore, it is determined by the determination means whether or not the measured value is equal to or less than an allowable value, and waste discharge is permitted only when the measured value is equal to or less than the allowable value. In the case of the fourth method, it is possible to identify a person who can discharge to the waste disposal apparatus and to make the discharger recognize the amount of waste discharged.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-23002 11th page, Nikkei Sangyo Shimbun September 7, 2000 5th page of the Nihon Kogyo Shimbun August 7, 2000 issue Japanese Patent Application No. 2000-318230 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-167404

However, each method described above has the following problems.
In the first designated bag-type method, the amount of waste discharged is not understood until it is collected and transported to the waste disposal site, and the discharger does not know the amount of waste by itself. The weight loss effect cannot be expected. Further, since the discharger packs as much garbage as possible in the garbage bag in order to reduce the number of designated garbage bags, the amount of garbage discharged per garbage bag increases.

  In addition, since the second bag specific measurement type method is applied to an existing collection system, a new equipment introduction cost is required or the operation method becomes complicated. For this reason, there is a tendency for the burden on the discharger and the collection worker to increase and inefficiency. This is specifically described as follows. In the registration method, each time a garbage is collected, the discharger must register each garbage bag one by one, and the collection company inputs this information to the information terminal in some way during the collection of garbage. At the same time, the garbage bags must be weighed one by one and the information must be taken into the information terminal. Therefore, this method places a heavy burden on the waste collection operation that requires rapidness, and it is impossible to grasp the amount of waste discharged by each discharger. In the barcode method, the discharger only needs to put a barcode on the garbage bag, and the burden is reduced. However, the collection operator barcodes the barcode information attached to each garbage bag at the time of garbage collection work. Each garbage bag must be weighed while being read by a reader or the like. In order to realize this, all the collection vehicles must be provided with a bar code reader, a weighing device, and an information processing device for registering information obtained by these or a communication device for transmission. Therefore, in this method, it is necessary to introduce such specially-designed collection vehicles in the whole area, and the burden of costs is large. In addition, for the collection workers who are actually in charge of the collection work, it is necessary to operate a bar code reader, weighing device, information processing device or communication device, and the work is heavy and the waste collection work requires a high speed. Work time increases. In addition, when communicating information from a collection vehicle, it is necessary to set up communication facilities on the receiving side in addition to the collection vehicle, and communication from a mobile body (collection vehicle). A strict management system is required. In addition, there are the following two problems in general of the bag specific weighing type. The first problem cannot be dealt with when a waste bag outside the garbage collection area illegally brings a garbage bag without a bar code seal. Normally, such garbage bags are not collected and remain in the garbage dump, and the disposal of the garbage bags becomes a burden on the residents' association. Another problem is that it is not possible to completely protect privacy because the garbage bag attached with the bar code seal is completely identified who discharged it.

  Furthermore, in the third home weighing type method, such a trash box must be prepared by a local government or a trader who purchases or collects trash. In addition, as with the bag specific weighing type, the problem of privacy remains.

  Further, in the fourth discharger identification type method, since the upper limit of the waste discharge amount is defined by the determination means, it is not possible to cope with a sudden increase in the waste discharge amount. For example, when the amount of discharged waste, such as moving, increases, it cannot be discharged to this waste disposal apparatus. In addition, since the lifestyles and the like are different for each individual and each household, the amount of waste discharged is different. Therefore, if an upper limit is set for the amount of waste, it cannot cope with individual differences. Also, increasing the upper limit to absorb individual differences will increase overall waste output.

To solve the above problems, the following solutions are required.
As a first measure, it is desirable to introduce a system with economic incentives such as a pay-per-use system to reduce the amount of waste discharged. It is easy to obtain information on the amount of waste discharged. This is because it is possible to clearly and transparently determine how to charge the treatment fee according to the actual waste discharge amount according to the discharge amount of waste by each discharger in order to reduce the waste discharge amount. Because. For this purpose, an efficient and clear weighing of the waste weight is required.

  As a second measure, as a condition for realizing a clear weighing of the waste of the first measure, the waste discharger has less burden of work at the time of waste discharge and purchase of new equipment, etc. A simple and unnecessary system is required.

  As a third measure, as a condition for realizing the first measure, there is less burden on work and equipment operation for the collection worker at the time of waste collection work, and introduction of an expensive special specification collection vehicle, etc. It is desirable that the collection system be unnecessary and can be operated as easily as existing collection work systems.

  As a fourth measure, as a condition for realizing the first measure, the person who is involved in such a collection system is the information of all the household exhausters, collection workers, municipal waste disposal managers, etc. Since it is not an expert in processing, an information management system is required to be simple and not complicated and easy to manage information security.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a waste management system and a waste management method capable of efficiently collecting waste, grasping the amount of waste discharged by each discharger, and further reducing the amount of waste discharged, and disposal The object is to provide a storage medium for storing object management information.

In the third embodiment, the authentication code can be converted from the barcode information. The data stored for each garbage storage device 2 includes a waste storage device ID, a location (location information), and the like.

  The information processing unit 10d is a unit that performs processing such as billing calculation, environmental load calculation, generation point garbage amount identification, collection plan planning, and authentication information addition. The information processing unit 10d is configured by, for example, an information processing chip, a circuit board, software, or the like. In order to perform the above processing, the information processing means 10d is a waste disposal fee calculation circuit (hereinafter referred to as a charge calculation circuit) 10g for each discharger, and an environmental load calculation circuit for each discharger (hereinafter referred to as a load calculation circuit). 10h, a garbage amount identification circuit (hereinafter referred to as an identification circuit) 10i, a collection plan planning circuit (hereinafter referred to as a planning circuit) 10j, and an authentication information giving circuit (hereinafter referred to as a granting circuit) 10k Prepare.

  The fee calculation circuit 10g classifies the garbage type and the amount of garbage for each authentication information (that is, for each garbage discharger P) in the whole area based on the information on the amount of garbage by discharger received by the information transmitting / receiving means 10a. Furthermore, the charge calculation circuit 10g totals the amount of garbage for each type of authentication for each billing unit period (for example, monthly unit, year unit), and creates a waste amount total table for each discharger / sorter. To do. Then, the charge calculation circuit 10g per unit period for each waste discharger P is based on the total amount of waste per waste per unit period and the waste processing unit price stored in the calculation data storage means 10b. The waste disposal fee is calculated (for example, multiplied by both) and used as the charge amount. Subsequently, the fee calculation circuit 10g causes the output device 10e to print out a waste processing fee bill for each waste discharger P.

  The load calculation circuit 10h is configured to generate the waste discharger P based on the environmental load conversion factor stored in the discharger / separation type waste amount summary table and the calculation data storage means 10b for each unit period created by the charge calculation circuit 10g.

  The planning circuit 10j arranges the number of collection vehicles CV that optimizes the transportation efficiency under the restriction conditions of the number of garbage collection schedules and the number of collection vehicles CV, based on the information on the amount of waste by region collected by the identification circuit 10i. Develop a transportation plan for collection order, collection schedule, relay method, destination, etc. The planning circuit 10j displays the planned plan on the display screen of the display device 10f. As a result, the collection plan for the waste generation status can be confirmed on the display screen. The planning circuit 10j may print out the planned plan with the output device 10e, or may transmit it as collection request information to the terminal of the dispatch center of the collection vehicle CV as electronic information from the information transmitting / receiving means 10a. Incidentally, the planning circuit 10j is not necessarily required for garbage collected through a regularly determined route such as garbage, but in a collection plan for garbage collected irregularly such as oversized garbage. Is effective. In addition, as described above, by visualizing the state of waste generation with the display device 10f, not only during normal times, but also when the amount of waste generated during the year-end and New Year holidays, long holidays, etc. increases. Since the amount of waste generated by district can be grasped in advance prior to collection, there is an effect that the waste management systems A, B, C, and D can be operated by making an efficient waste collection / treatment plan.

  The grant circuit 10k assigns authentication information for the waste dischargers P that discharge the waste G to the waste storage devices 2A, 2B, 2C, and 2D in the waste management systems A, B, C, and D, and authenticates each waste discharger P.

In the dust storage devices 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, when the authentication information is input, the information processing circuit 21j authenticates the waste discharger P based on the authentication information (S3). When this authentication is performed, the garbage storage devices 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D open the lid 23a to enable the introduction of the waste G in the case of authentication OK (S3), and in the case of the authentication NG The state in which the lid 23a is closed in order to make the introduction of G impossible is maintained.
In the present embodiment, the processing in step S3 corresponds to the authentication step and the input step described in the claims.

  When the lids 23a of the garbage storage devices 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D are opened, the garbage discharger P throws in the garbage G (S4).

When the garbage G is put in, the garbage storage devices 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D weigh the garbage G by the automatic weighing device 20, and store the garbage G until the garbage G is collected (S5). In the garbage storage devices 2A, 2B, 2C, and 2D, the information processing circuit 21j creates the waste amount information by discharger and stores the waste amount information by discharger in the information storage unit 20i.

Further, the waste collection operator collects the collection card CC or CD-RW in which the waste amount-specific waste amount information is written (S8). Then, the garbage collection worker carries the garbage G,... And the collection card CC or CD-RW to the disposal facilities 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D. In the case of the fourth embodiment, since the waste amount information by discharger is transmitted from the waste storage device 2D to the cleaning station 1D, the storage medium such as the collection card CC is not collected.

  In the disposal facilities 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, the collected garbage G,... Is subjected to incineration processing, landfill processing, recycling processing, etc. according to the type of garbage (S9).

  Further, at the disposal facilities 3A, 3B, 3C, the information input means 30c inputs the waste amount information included in the collected collection card CC or CD-RW. In the disposal facility 3A and the disposal facility 3B, the card reader 30a reads out the waste amount information of the collection card CC by the discharger, and in the disposal facility 3C, the CD drive 30b outputs the waste amount information of the CD-RW by the discharger. read out. In each of the disposal facilities 3A, 3B, 3C, the waste information for each discharger is sent to the cleaning stations 1A, 1B, The information is transmitted to the 1C information transmitting / receiving means 10a (S10).

  In the fourth embodiment, the waste amount information by discharger is directly transmitted to the information transmitting / receiving unit 10a of the cleaning station 1D by the transmitting unit 21g of the garbage storage device 2D. In any case, in this manner, the waste amount information for each discharger in the area is collected in the cleaning station information processing apparatuses 10A, 10B, 10C, and 10D of the cleaning stations 1A, 1B, 1C, and 1D.

Further, in the cleaning stations 1A, 1B, 1C, and 1D, the information processing means 10d calculates the waste disposal fee of each waste discharger P for each unit period based on the waste amount / sorting type waste amount summary table, and this waste. The disposal fee is charged to each waste discharger P (S12).
In the present embodiment, the processing in step S11 corresponds to the regional information management process described in the claims.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a procedure of processing relating to waste amount information by discharger in the waste storage devices 2A, 2B, 2C, and 2D.

  In the information management apparatus 21, the authentication information input from the information input means 21h by the waste discharger P is acquired (S20). The garbage storage device 2A acquires the discharger ID and password, the garbage storage devices 2B and 2D acquire the authentication code written on the discharger card PC, and the waste storage device 2C prints it on the seal BS. Bar code information (and thus an authentication code converted from the bar code information) is acquired.

  When the authentication information is acquired, the information management device 21 acquires date / time information from the system timer 21m (S21).

  Subsequently, in the information management device 21, the information processing circuit 21j compares the authentication information registered in advance in the information storage means 21i with the input authentication information, and the authentication information input in the registered authentication information It is determined whether there is matching authentication information (S22).

  If there is matching authentication information, it is assumed that the waste discharger P has been authenticated, and the following processing continues. On the other hand, if there is no matching authentication information, the waste discharger P is not authenticated, and the waste amount information by discharger is not generated, so the processing ends.

  Upon authentication, the information management device 21 transmits a signal for opening the lid 23a from the information processing circuit 21j to the rotary hook 23d and transmits a signal for starting weighing to the automatic weighing devices 20 and 20. Then, the garbage storage devices 2A, 2B, 2C. In 2D, the rotary hook 23d rotates and the lid 23a is opened to allow the garbage G to be put in. When the waste discharger P puts in the waste G, the automatic weighing devices 20 and 20 measure the waste G, and the measurement data is transmitted to the information management device 21. In the information management device 21, the information processing circuit 21j specifies the amount of garbage by the above-described method based on the measurement data of the garbage G (S23). In addition, the measurement data of garbage G is data according to the classification classification (garbage type) when sorted and stored in the garbage storage device 2 as shown in FIG. It is attached and distinguished. As described above, the garbage type identification information is given as 1 for garbage, 2 for paper waste, and so on.

  Subsequently, in the information management device 21, the information processing circuit 21j generates waste amount information by discharger (S24). As described above, the waste amount information written to the storage medium in the first to third embodiments is information that includes date and time information, authentication information, waste type, waste amount, and waste storage device ID. It is. By the way, by adding the garbage storage device ID to the information, as described above, when collecting the amount of waste generated by the cleaning station information processing devices 10A, 10B, 10C, 10D of the cleaning stations 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D In addition to the waste discharger P, the waste storage devices 2A, 2B, 2C. It becomes possible to count the amount of waste by district at the neighborhood association level by 2B. On the other hand, the information on the amount of waste by sender in the fourth embodiment includes information on the network address of the transmission source and the network address of the transmission destination necessary for communication, instead of the garbage storage device ID. . The garbage storage device ID or the network address of the transmission destination and the transmission source is registered in advance in the information storage unit 21i, read from the information storage unit 21i into the information processing circuit 21j, and incorporated into the waste amount information by discharger. .

  Further, in the information management device 21, the waste information by discharger generated by the information processing circuit 21j to prevent leakage is encrypted and stored in the information storage unit 21i.

  In the information management device 21, the information output means 21k outputs the waste amount information by discharger (S25). The garbage amount information by discharger is written in the collection card CC in the garbage storage devices 2A and 2B, written in the CD-RW in the garbage storage device 2C, and transmitted via the communication line CM in the garbage storage device 2D. The

  Although the above description has focused on the generation of the waste amount information by discharger, it may be displayed on the information display means 21l in order to confirm each information appropriately in each of these processes. For example, the authentication information is displayed in the processing of steps S20 and S22, the processing of step S23 displays the weighing data or the information of the identified waste amount, and the generated waste amount information for each discharger is displayed in the processing of step S24. Is done.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 10, the flow of the garbage information display processing in the garbage storage devices 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D will be described along the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing a procedure of garbage information display processing in the garbage storage devices 2A, 2B, 2C, and 2D.

  In the garbage storage devices 2A, 2B, 2C, and 2D, the waste discharger P is authenticated based on the authentication information, and when the waste G is introduced by the waste discharger P, the automatic weighing devices 20 and 20 measure the waste G. Then, the information management device 21 acquires the weighing data of the garbage G from the automatic weighing devices 20 and 20 (S30).

  Subsequently, the information management device 21 calculates a dust amount based on the measurement data acquired by the information processing circuit 21j (S31). The amount of garbage is calculated for each kind of information included in the measurement data.

  Further, in the information management device 21, the information processing circuit 21j reads the waste processing unit price and the environmental load conversion coefficient stored in advance from the information storage unit 21i (S32).

  In the information management device 21, the information processing circuit 21 j multiplies the waste amount by waste type and the waste treatment unit price to calculate the waste treatment fee, and multiplies the waste amount by waste type and the environmental load conversion coefficient. The amount of environmental load related to the waste disposal is calculated (S33).

Finally, in the information management device 21, the information display means 21l displays the name of the waste discharger P, the type of garbage, the amount of garbage, the calculated waste disposal fee and the environmental load (S34). In addition, as for the information on environmental load, the amount of generated carbon dioxide is shown as an example on the waste information display screen 21n shown in FIG. 8, but in addition to this, the amount of dioxin generated by incineration or an environmental tax related to waste treatment is introduced. If it is, it may be information for estimating or evaluating the environmental impact from the relationship with the amount of waste, such as an index value such as a tax rate. In this case, as described above, the environmental load calculation method is not limited to the product of the amount of waste and the environmental load conversion coefficient, and may be any method based on both methods.
In the present embodiment, the process of step S34 corresponds to the charge display step and the environmental load display step described in the claims.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 1 thru | or FIG. 10, the flow of the process regarding the waste amount information according to discharger in the treatment disposal facilities 3A, 3B, 3C will be described along the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing a procedure of processing of waste amount information by discharger at the treatment disposal facilities 3A, 3B, 3C.

  In the disposal facilities 3A, 3B, and 3C, the collection card CC or the CD-RW in which the waste amount information is written by the waste collection worker is collected. And in facility information processing apparatus 30A, 30B, 30C, the waste amount information according to discharger of the collection card CC or CD-RW is read by the information input means 30c (S40).

  After the reading, the facility information processing apparatuses 30A, 30B, and 30C store the read waste amount information by discharger in the information storage unit 30e (S41).

  For each unit period (collection day unit, week unit), the facility information processing devices 30A, 30B, and 30C send the waste amount information stored in the information storage unit 30e by the information transmission / reception unit 30g via the Internet IN. The information is transmitted to the information transmitting / receiving means 10a of the cleaning station 1A, 1B, 1C (S42).

  The facility information processing apparatuses 30A, 30B, and 30C may directly transmit the information by the information transmitting / receiving unit 30g each time it is read without storing the read waste amount information by discharger.

  Next, the flow of processing in the cleaning stations 1A, 1B, 1C, and 1D will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 15 with reference to FIGS. FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure in the cleaning stations 1A, 1B, 1C, and 1D.

  The cleaning stations 1A, 1B, 1C, and 1D receive the waste-specific waste amount information that is transmitted by the information transmitting / receiving means 10a of the cleaning station information management devices 10A, 10B, 10C, and 10D (S50).

  After the reception, the cleaning station information management devices 10A, 10B, 10C, and 10D store the received waste amount-specific waste amount information in the information storage unit 10m. In the cleaning station information management apparatuses 10A, 10B, 10C, and 10D, the information processing unit 10d counts the amount of garbage for each type of garbage based on the information on the amount of waste for each discharger, and for each unit period (FIG. 15). Now, a monthly total waste amount / sorting type garbage amount totaling table is created (S51).

  Then, the cleaning station information management apparatuses 10A, 10B, 10C, and 10D determine whether the information processing unit 10d is at the end of the month, and continue counting the amount of garbage described above until the end of the month (S52).

At the end of the month, in the cleaning station information management devices 10A, 10B, 10C, 10D, the information processing means 10d is a waste disposal unit price stored in the monthly discharger / sorting type garbage amount totaling table and calculation data storage means 10b. Based on the above, a waste disposal fee per month for each waste discharger P is calculated and set as a billing amount (S53). Further, the cleaning station information management apparatuses 10A, 10B, 10C, and 10D output a waste disposal fee bill by the output device 10e (S53). Incidentally, this waste disposal fee bill is sent to each waste discharger P, and each waste discharger P pays a fee.
In the present embodiment, the processing in step S53 corresponds to a charging calculation process described in the claims.

Further, in the cleaning station information management apparatuses 10A, 10B, 10C, and 10D, the information processing means 10d is the environmental load conversion coefficient stored in the discharge amount / sorting type garbage amount total table and the calculation data storage means 10b for each unit period. Based on the above, the amount of environmental load caused by the waste discharged per month for each waste discharger P and the environmental tax are calculated (S54). Further, the cleaning station information management devices 10A, 10B, 10C, and 10D output the environmental load data and the environmental tax payment slip by the output device 10e (S54). By the way, this environmental tax payment slip is sent to each waste discharger P, and each waste discharger P pays the tax.
In the present embodiment, the process of step S54 corresponds to the environmental load calculation step described in the claims.

  On the other hand, in the cleaning station information management devices 10A, 10B, 10C, and 10D, the location information of the generation point of the garbage based on the waste amount information by discharger received by the information processing means 10d and the location information stored in advance in the corresponding DB 10c. The location information and the amount of garbage for each type of garbage are mapped on the electronic map and displayed on the display screen of the display device 10f (S55).

  Further, in the cleaning station information management apparatuses 10A, 10B, 10C, and 10D, the information processing unit 10d arranges the collection vehicle CV, the collection order, and the collection schedule that optimize the transportation efficiency based on the information on the amount of waste by area. Then, a transportation plan concerning a relay method, a transportation destination, etc. is made (S56). The cleaning station information management devices 10A, 10B, 10C, and 10D display the planned plan on the display screen of the display device 10f (S56).

  Finally, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 10, the flow of the accounting process in the cleaning stations 1A, 1B, 1C, and 1D will be described along the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing a charging process procedure in the cleaning stations 1A, 1B, 1C, and 1D.

  As described above, in the cleaning station information management apparatuses 10A, 10B, 10C, and 10D, the information processing unit 10d creates the waste amount / sorting type garbage amount totaling table 40 (S60). 16 is a tabulation table for each waste discharger P for April, and shows 1 (food waste), 2 (paper waste), and 3 (plastic waste). ,... Indicates the garbage type, April 1,... Indicates the day when the garbage G is discharged, and .alpha.kg,.

  In the cleaning station information management apparatuses 10A, 10B, 10C, and 10D, the information processing unit 10d stores data on the amount of garbage for each garbage discharger P and each classification type (garbage type) in the accounting unit period (monthly in FIG. 16). Are statistically collected to collect statistical data such as average value, maximum value, minimum value, standard deviation, etc., and create a histogram of waste amount (frequency distribution diagram of waste amount) (S61). Further, the information processing means 10d aggregates the overall average value of the classification type and the annual discharge amount of each waste discharger P, and ranks them in descending order of the annual discharge amount (S61).

  Subsequently, in the cleaning station information management apparatuses 10A, 10B, 10C, and 10D, the information processing unit 10d is configured such that, for example, based on the histogram of the amount of waste, the waste discharger P having a waste amount that is larger or smaller than a certain range amount. Is extracted (S62). It is desirable that the amount of garbage here is converted into the amount of garbage per person in consideration of the number of garbage dischargers P per household. In addition, this process is a collection method of waste disposal fee. After collecting a certain amount in advance, excess or deficiency may be added or returned according to the actual amount of waste, or the amount of waste It is for collecting data when tax reduction or taxation is performed by recording certain points according to the actual results. Therefore, this processing is not always necessary when the collection method of the waste processing fee is charged in proportion to the actual amount of waste.

  Finally, in the cleaning station information management apparatuses 10A, 10B, 10C, and 10D, the information processing unit 10d has a waste processing unit price stored in the waste amount / sorting type garbage amount totaling table 40 and the calculation data storage unit 10b. Based on the data, a waste disposal fee taking into account the amount of waste by waste discharger P is calculated and used as the billing amount. In the simplest calculation formula, the amount of waste may be multiplied by the waste disposal unit price.
