However, when such a corruption purification tank is installed in the room, So that another problem arises.

Therefore, it is impossible to recycle urban resources (eco-friendly energy sources) unless the existing methods of collecting and transporting food waste are improved, and the existing methods will be continuously recognized as odor or unsanitary facilities in terms of convenience of residents.

Therefore, it is necessary to maximize recycling by changing the selective collection and transportation of food wastes. In addition, it is necessary to prevent hygienic food wastes and resident convenience by preventing bad odors and environmental pollution during screening, collecting and transportation.

The present invention was invented in order to solve the problem of solving the urban sanitation problem and securing the environment-friendly energy source in the treatment of the city food waste.

In the past, most of the food wastes are dependent on the landfill treatment because the food selection is not properly performed, and some composting is induced, but this is also not easy due to excessive salt concentration.

In addition, the problem of inefficient treatment of food wastes, the generation of bad odors due to the collection and transportation vehicles, and the problems of bacterial propagation and damage to the beauty of the city are urgent issues in terms of urban environmental hygiene.

In addition, environmental pollution caused by wastewater generated around the aged public treatment facility is also a problem to be solved.
