In addition, there are devices that provide games, prizes, stickers, and beads in return for collecting empty cans or craftsmen, but they are not suitable for a large number of users or are difficult to use. .

Also, there is known a system for paying the price immediately after putting empty cans or the like. However, such a system has a disadvantage in that it is not always required to prepare various amounts of coins, but it is difficult to invoke the desire to utilize the coins because they are paid with a small amount of 10-won coins .

On the other hand, among the household garbage, the household garbage collection rate is increasing due to ongoing system and enlightenment, but the amount of food garbage is increasing, and the treatment method and the processing cost are becoming important issues. As a policy for food waste disposal, a levy system is being applied to pay collection and disposal costs by the amount emitted by the disposer. For this purpose, although the discharge method using the bag for exclusive use of food garbage is used, there is a problem that odor is generated in the room due to the generation of spoiled and contaminated leachate of the food garbage because it must be stored indoors until the bag for food garbage is full have.

Also, at the time of discharge for collection, the bag for food garbage was damaged by the animals at night, causing the collection by the collection company not to be performed properly and causing the problem to be neglected. Some administrative agencies have replaced plastic waste containers with food waste bags.

However, when food waste collection volume is inflated by the food waste collection company and it is reported to the relevant management organization of the county or the ward office, there is no way to inspect and confirm it in the relevant management agency. Therefore, the collection fee from the collection company There is a problem that the cost for food waste disposal is excessively paid, and it is necessary to reduce the amount of food waste discharged through the implementation of the food waste disposal system.
