Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a waste collection and measurement system and method for a waste collector to collect and measure waste discharged by a waste discharger.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The method of discharging, collecting, and disposing of industrial waste and its management method are strictly determined by the Waste Disposal Law. The management method stipulates the use of a “special management industrial waste management slip” (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as a “management slip”). This management slip should include the name, quantity, name of a waste collection company, name of a waste disposal company, etc. when a waste discharge company that discharges waste entrusts industrial waste treatment. It is used to grasp and manage the flow of industrial waste. For example, in the case of the six-spelled management form, the A form, the B1 form,
It consists of B2, C1, C2, and D votes, each of which includes (1) the location and name of the discharger that discharged the waste, (2) the date of delivery of the management slip, and (3) ) Waste type,
There are provided columns for describing the quantity, (4) the location and name of the collection company, and (5) the location and name of the waste disposal company. The A sheet is a copy of the waste disposal company, the B1 sheet is a copy of the collection company, and the B2 sheet is a signature and seal of the collection company as confirmation that the collection company delivered the waste to the disposal company. , C1 votes are for the waste disposal company, C2 votes are for confirming the disposal of waste carried by the collectors, and D votes are for waste disposal. After that, the signature and seal of the processing company are made, and are passed from the processing company to the discharge company.

[0003] By using this management slip, the date of discharge of the industrial waste, the type and quantity of waste, the location, name, and the name of the collector are described in this management slip. It is possible to check the location and name of the waste disposal company. This makes it possible to prevent environmental pollution due to improper treatment and illegal dumping, which has become a social problem, to some extent.

By the way, in order for a collecting company to collect wastes discharged by a discharging company, the collecting company first goes to a discharging company by a collection vehicle (truck). In this collection vehicle, a measuring instrument is fixedly installed and a wagon is mounted. Then, the collector moves the wagon loaded on the collection vehicle to the discharge site where the waste is placed, and places the waste on the wagon at the discharge site. Then, the collector passes the temporary waste collection slip to the person in charge of the discharge business and transports the waste to the place of the original collection vehicle. Next, the weight of the waste is weighed by a measuring instrument fixedly installed in the collection truck, the weighed waste is loaded on the collection truck, and the collection company holds the collection slip at the waste discharge site. And give it to the person in charge of the emission business in exchange for a temporary collection slip. This completes the waste collection and weighing.

[0005]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional collection and weighing method, since the weight of the waste is weighed at the place where the collection vehicle is parked, the collector has described the weight of the waste. It is necessary to take the collection slip from the place where the collection vehicle is parked to the waste discharge site where the person in charge of the discharge business is located, which is troublesome. And
It is necessary to issue a temporary collection slip and a collection slip for one collection and measurement of waste, and there is a problem that the procedure is complicated and time-consuming.

[0006] In the above-mentioned special management industrial waste management slip, 1. Discharge companies, collectors and treatment companies are to prepare the management slips and store them individually.However, since the actual waste is not indicated, some management slips may not be included in the management slips. There is a problem that the actual waste described cannot be specified. 2. Since the management slip is handwritten, it takes time to input the contents described in each management slip into a computer. Further, since the management slip is handwritten, it takes time and effort to manage the search for the waste, which is difficult. Therefore, the management slip is used only by a relatively small group of emission businesses, collectors and processors, and collectively includes a large number of emission businesses, collectors and processors. As a result, for example, it is difficult to prevent improper disposal or illegal dumping, and to make early investigation of such cases difficult.
