Description

  The present invention relates to a resource recovery system that efficiently recovers reusable resources such as waste paper, plastic bottles, and iron scraps, and more particularly to a resource recovery system that utilizes an ICT system.

  In recent years, in order to protect the environment and resources, we have collected reusable resources such as waste paper (newspaper, magazines, cardboard, etc.), plastic bottles, iron scraps, aluminum cans, steel cans, etc. Promotion of recycling is required. However, a large amount of resources generated at business establishments, etc. are collected periodically and recycled as resources by contracting with a collection contractor, but a small amount of resources generated at private homes are For example, it is thrown away as trash unless it is an event such as collection of waste products by a neighborhood association or children's association).

  Also, in the past, individual contractors who were engaged in the collection of waste products visited the areas determined by light trucks, etc., and collected the resources generated in their homes. However, the number of individual traders who are engaged in the waste collection business itself is decreasing.

  Therefore, we partnered with a courier company to cooperate with a courier company that promotes the recycling of waste paper that has been discarded as garbage by picking up used paper that is a resource of the company and private homes as part of the service to deliver parcels. A resource recovery system is disclosed (see Patent Document 1).

According to the present invention, a system server operated by a resource recovery operator that performs resource recovery, a worker terminal that each of a plurality of resource recovery workers has, and a management computer that manages resources recovered and stored in a recovery center door is a communication can be connected to a resource recovery system to each other via a public communication network, a system server resource recovery operators to operate, and resource recovery receiving means for receiving a resource collection request, with resources once collection Based on the resource recovery request received by the means, a recovery schedule determination means for determining a resource recovery schedule for each of the plurality of resource recovery workers, and a recovery for transmitting the resource recovery schedule determined by the recovery schedule determination means to the worker terminal A schedule transmission unit; and a collection result receiving unit configured to receive a resource collection result from the worker terminal. Therefore, an efficient resource recovery schedule (for example, a resource recovery request (for example, designation of a resource recovery location, a resource recovery date, etc.) of a customer requesting resource recovery (hereinafter also referred to as a resource recovery requester) The time schedule for the resource recovery worker to efficiently recover the resources in the area in charge can be determined. Then, the determined resource collection schedule is transmitted to a worker terminal (for example, a tablet terminal that is easy to carry) possessed by the resource collection worker. The resource recovery worker performs the resource recovery work by visiting the resource recovery requester in accordance with the resource recovery schedule displayed on the worker terminal. As described above, the resource recovery operator performs resource recovery in accordance with a predetermined resource recovery schedule, thereby enabling efficient resource recovery.

  Also, the worker terminals lent to the resource recovery workers respectively receive the resource recovery schedule determined by the recovery schedule determination means of the system server from the system server, and the resource recovery result to the system server. Collection result transmission means for transmitting. The resource recovery worker performs the resource recovery work according to the resource recovery schedule received from the system server by the dedicated truck for transporting resources (hereinafter referred to as resource recovery truck) and displayed on the worker terminal. When resource recovery from the resource recovery requester is completed, the resource recovery operator transmits the resource recovery result (recovery completion report) to the system server from the worker terminal. The system server that has received the resource recovery result stores the resource recovery result for each resource recovery requester. As described above, the system server receives the resource recovery result according to the resource recovery schedule for each of the plurality of resource recovery workers from the worker terminal, so that the progress of the resource recovery work with respect to the resource recovery request of the resource recovery requester. The situation can be grasped.

  The resource recovery operator performs resource recovery work according to the resource recovery schedule from the system server. At this time, when the resource recovery truck is full or the resource recovery schedule for one day is finished, the recovered resource is the area to which it belongs. To the collection center. In the resource collection system according to the present invention, the resource collection company operates a plurality of collection centers, and in this collection center, the weight of resources collected from a plurality of resource collection workers and the classification work of types are performed. Done. In the collection center, the collected resources are packed in a state that can be shipped for each type, and stored until a resource shipping instruction is sent from the system server to a predetermined resource recycling factory (for example, a paper mill). .

  The management computer for managing resources collected and stored in a plurality of collection centers includes resource data transmission means for transmitting resource data including at least the type and weight of the resources collected and stored in the collection center to the system server. And shipping instruction receiving means for receiving a shipping instruction for the resources collected and stored in the collection center from the system server.

  The plurality of collection centers receive the resources collected by the resource collection workers and measure the weight. The weight of the recovered resource is measured in units of the resource recovery truck that has been transported. That is, it is measured by a method of subtracting the weight of the resource recovery truck from the total weight of the resource recovery truck loaded with resources. For this reason, the minimum unit of the weight of the resource which can be measured is about 10 kg unit. After that, the collection center sorts by resource type (used paper, plastic bottles, scrap iron, aluminum cans, steel cans, etc.). If the resource is used paper, it is further sorted into newspapers, magazines, cardboard and the like. The selected resources are compressed and packed for each predetermined weight (for example, 1 t) by the packing device. Resources packed with a predetermined weight for each type are stored at the collection center until shipment.

  The management computer of the collection center packs the resources for each type and then manages the packed resources (for example, manages the quantity of the resources packed with a predetermined weight for each type). The management computer transmits the quantity and type of the packed resource collected and stored in the collection center to the system server as resource data (resource data transmission means). In this way, the resource recycling factory (for example, a paper mill) is managed by the system server collectively managing the types of resources stored at multiple collection centers and the quantity packed with a predetermined weight (hereinafter referred to as resource data). Etc.) can be sold to the recycling factory.

  In addition, the system server receives an order for resources of the type and quantity required by the recycling factory in advance, and when the type and quantity of resources stored at each collection center satisfy the ordered value, each collection center The shipping instruction of the resources stored is sent to. Then, a transport truck for shipment (for example, a large 15t truck) is arranged and shipped for the shipment of resources stored at each collection center. When the collection center management computer receives the shipping instruction from the system server (shipment instruction receiving means), the designated type and quantity of the resources stored in the collection center are shipped by the shipping transport truck. To do.

  In this way, by collectively managing the collected resources with the system server, it is possible to sell the type and quantity of resources required by the resource recycling factory to the recycling factory, so the resource recycling business has been established, Profitability can be improved. In recent years, there are cases where resources are exported not only to domestic resource recycling factories, but also to foreign (eg, China) recycling factories. In this case, for example, an export warehouse is set up near the port, and the resources stored at the collection center are stored in this export warehouse, and the resources of the type and quantity required by the foreign recycling plant are stored. This makes it possible to provide a resource recovery system that can be expected to be profitable as a resource export business and that can protect the environment and resources not only in Japan but worldwide.

  As described above, the resource collection system according to the present embodiment is generally constructed using information communication technology (various technologies related to computers and networks) called ICT (Information and Communication Technology). .

  Further, in the resource recovery system according to the present embodiment, a worker terminal can be lent to an individual contractor who can execute the resource recovery work, and business can be entrusted as a resource recovery operator. The individual trader entrusted with the resource recovery work is, for example, an individual trader who has been engaged in the collection of waste products in the past (for example, exchanging dust paper). For this reason, there are many cases in which a resource recovery truck (waste collection truck) is owned, and resource recovery is carried out in accordance with the resource recovery schedule displayed on the lending worker's terminal with its own resource recovery truck. Become. By doing in this way, the resource recovery company can expand the area where the resource recovery business is newly developed over a wide range without newly hiring a plurality of resource recovery workers. In addition, it is expected that individual contractors entrusted with business will be able to efficiently recover profits simply by performing resource recovery according to the resource recovery schedule displayed on the lent operator's terminal without conducting business for resource recovery. It is possible to perform resource recovery work that can be performed.

  In addition, individual contractors outsourcing resource recovery work are not limited to those who have been engaged in the collection of waste products in the past. For example, if you own a resource transportation means (resource recovery truck), You can be a private company. That is, the resource collection system according to the present embodiment includes a resource collection plan for one day (map data indicating the position of the resource collection place, etc.) transmitted from the system server to the worker terminal even for those who have never experienced resource collection. ), The resources can be collected by moving along the optimal route, so that the amount of resources that can be collected in a day is kept constant while shortening the distance traveled per resource collection by the resource collection workers. be able to. For this reason, even an inexperienced person in resource recovery can perform efficient resource recovery work. In addition, if the individual contractor outsourcing the business does not own the resource transportation means (resource recovery truck), the resource recovery truck used by the resource recovery operator described above by the resource recovery operator or a vehicle having similar functions Can be lent.

  In addition, on the condition that multiple individual visiting operators with whom the resource recovery business has transactions have been accepted to outsource resource recovery work, the business details of the multiple individual visiting businesses shall be Can introduce each other. In this case, the resource collection company supports the life of a plurality of individual business operators with whom there is a transaction, such as a courier, newspaper delivery company, milk delivery company, mail delivery company, food product delivery company, and elderly living alone. It is an individual visitor that visits a private house and provides various services, such as a visiting care provider. In other words, when an individual visitor's workers visit individual homes by entrusting resource recovery work in partnership with multiple individual visitors who have made resource recovery transactions in the past. In addition to its own work (for example, in the case of a visiting care provider, care for an elderly person living alone, etc.), it also performs resource collection work as a service to the customer.

  In this way, resource recovery companies and individual visiting companies have partnered with them for resource recovery work so that, for example, resources such as used paper and plastic bottles in private homes that are normally discarded as combustible waste can be more efficiently used. It can be recovered and further environmental protection and resource protection can be achieved. In addition, the resources collected and temporarily stored in the offices of the individual visiting business operators will perform resource recovery work when the resource recovery business operator requests collection periodically or by the individual visiting business operators, Transport the recovered resources to the multiple recovery centers described above.

  Then, the resource collection business operator can introduce the business contents of the respective business businesses to each of the plurality of individual business operators entrusted with the resource recovery business. For example, a resource recovery company introduces a visiting care provider that is one of a plurality of individual visiting businesses that are also outsourced to a newspaper delivery company that is one of a plurality of individual visiting businesses that have been outsourced. . In this way, resource recovery companies introduce each other's business content according to the resource consignment work consignment, so that, for example, a visiting care provider can provide business details to a newspaper delivery company customer. And the newspaper delivery company can appeal its business to visiting care provider customers. It is possible to build a business development.

[3. Resource recovery process]
Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 3, the resource recovery process in the resource recovery system 1 of the present embodiment will be described. This resource recovery process is a process executed by the control unit 113 (hereinafter referred to as the control unit 113) of the system server 11 described above.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the control unit 113 receives a resource collection request from the resource collection requester and registers it in the storage unit 111 of the system server 11 (step S10). The resource collection request from the resource collection requester includes the date and time when the resource collection requester wishes to collect the resource (hereinafter referred to as the resource collection date and time), and the storage location of the resource requested for collection (hereinafter referred to as the resource collection location). Etc. Here, the resource collection requester who desires the collection of resources in this embodiment is a customer who can regularly expect the generation of a large amount of resources such as business establishments, neighborhood associations or children's associations. It is not limited to an individual customer.

  An example of receiving a resource recovery request from a resource recovery requester will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 1, a resource recovery requester 30 requesting resource recovery accesses the system server 11 by a computer 31, and A resource recovery input form having a predetermined format in which a resource recovery request can be input is downloaded from the system server 11 to the computer 31. Then, after inputting necessary items (for example, customer name, resource collection date and time, resource collection location, etc.) into the resource collection input form downloaded to the computer 31, the resource collection input form is uploaded from the computer 31 to the system server 11. Necessary items (for example, customer name, resource collection date and time, resource collection location, etc.) input to the resource collection input form uploaded to the system server 11 are requested to collect resources from the storage unit 111 (see FIG. 2) of the system server 11. Registered as As described above, when the resource collection requester 30 who requests resource collection accesses the system server 11 by the computer 31, it can be automatically registered as a resource collection request in the storage unit 111 (see FIG. 2) of the system server 11. can do.

  The resource collection request by the resource collection requester is not limited to the above, but the resource collection requester who desires the resource collection can call the telephone 12 of the management center 10 from the telephone 32 or FAX 33 (see FIG. 1) via the telephone line. It is also possible to make a request for resource recovery directly to the FAX 13 (see FIG. 1). In this case, the operator of the management center 10 receives the resource collection request and registers the resource collection request in the storage unit 111 of the system server 11 using the input / output device such as the keyboard / mouse 116 (see FIG. 2). .

  The control unit 113 determines a resource recovery schedule for each of a plurality of resource recovery workers based on the resource recovery request registered in the storage unit 111 of the system server 11 (step S11). The process of step S11 is a recovery schedule determination unit that determines a resource recovery schedule according to the present embodiment. The resource recovery schedule determined here is the multiple resource recovery work determined based on the resource recovery request (customer name, resource recovery date and time, resource recovery location) in the area where multiple resource recovery workers are in charge respectively. This is a time schedule for daily resource recovery work for each person.

  The control unit 113 transmits the resource recovery schedule determined in the process of step S11 to the worker terminals 20 respectively possessed by a plurality of resource recovery workers via the public communication network 50 (step S12). The process of step S12 is a collection schedule transmission unit that transmits a resource collection schedule according to the present embodiment. The plurality of resource recovery workers receive the resource recovery schedule transmitted from the system server 11 at the worker terminal 20 (recovery schedule receiving means). Then, according to the received resource recovery schedule, the resource recovery requester moves to the resource recovery location and performs the resource recovery work at the resource recovery date and time desired to recover the resource specified in the resource recovery request.

  Note that the resource collection schedule transmitted from the system server 11 to the worker terminal 20 indicates not only the time schedule of the resource collection work for one day but also the position of the resource collection place requested by the resource collection requester, for example. Map data (for example, map data showing the optimal travel route (ie, directions) from the current location of the resource recovery operator to the target resource recovery location, such as well-known car navigation), together with the resource recovery schedule In addition, it can be transmitted to the operator terminal 20 of the resource recovery operator. As a result, it is possible to shorten the distance traveled per resource collection by the resource recovery worker, so that resources that can be recovered even if the travel distance of the resource recovery worker who circulates in one day is reduced. The amount can be increased. In other words, the resource recovery schedule in this embodiment does not simply indicate the resource recovery location specified by the resource recovery client in the area where the resource recovery worker is in charge, but more efficiently the resource recovery client with the shortest travel distance. Is time-scheduled so that it can patrol the designated resource collection place.

  A plurality of resource recovery workers in the present embodiment are each lent a dedicated truck for transporting resources (hereinafter referred to as a resource recovery truck). This resource recovery truck is provided with a loading platform capable of carrying a certain amount of resources. The resource recovery operator moves to the resource recovery location designated by the resource recovery requester according to the resource recovery schedule received by the worker terminal 20, recovers the resource, and inputs a recovery completion report to the worker terminal 20. The resource collection result is transmitted to the system server 11 (collection result transmission means).

  The control unit 113 receives the resource collection result transmitted from the worker terminal 20 that each of the plurality of resource collection workers has (step S13). Then, the control unit 113 registers the received resource collection result in the storage unit 111 of the system server 11 (step S14).

  The resource collection results (collection completion report) transmitted from the operator terminal 20 to each resource collection worker to the system server 11 are totalized and registered for each resource collection requester in the control unit 113 of the system server 11. The As described above, the system server 11 receives the resource recovery result according to the resource recovery schedule for each of the plurality of resource recovery workers from the worker terminal 20, thereby ensuring the progress of the resource recovery requester with respect to the resource recovery request. Can grasp.

  In addition, the payment to the resource recovery worker may be made to stabilize the income of the resource recovery operator by contracting as a monthly salary system to the exclusive resource recovery worker employed by the resource recovery operator, In addition, a temporary employment resource recovery business can be commissioned according to the weight of the recovered resources. Here, the resource recovery company according to the present embodiment signed a temporary employment contract with the resource recovery company and a dedicated resource recovery worker (hereinafter also referred to as a regular resource recovery worker) who had an employment contract with the resource recovery company. It consists of resource recovery workers (hereinafter also referred to as temporary resource recovery workers). As this temporary resource recovery worker, for example, when the resource recovery company planned to expand the area where resources are recovered, it recovered that resided in the expanding area that was adopted as a temporary (or temporary part-time job) An individual contractor having a means of transporting resources (eg, a resource recovery truck).

  In this way, even when an individual supplier having a means for transporting the collected resources is employed as a temporary resource recovery worker, the temporary resource recovery worker is lent the operator terminal 20 from the resource recovery operator, A resource for which an extraordinary resource recovery operator can expect efficient profitability by simply performing resource recovery according to the resource recovery schedule displayed on the lent worker terminal 20 without performing business for resource recovery, etc. Collection work can be performed. For this reason, temporary resource collection workers are as efficient as regular resource collection workers, regardless of whether they have experienced resource collection work (for example, individual contractors who have previously performed waste collection work) or have not experienced resource collection work. Can provide good resource recovery work.

  In addition, the resource collection result can be registered in the storage unit 111 of the system server 11 for each of a plurality of resource collection workers every day. As a result, the manager of the resource recovery company can manage and grasp the progress of resource recovery for each of the plurality of resource recovery workers. That is, the resource recovery schedule determined by the system server 11 and transmitted to the worker terminals 20 of the plurality of resource recovery workers is a time schedule of the resource recovery work for each of the plurality of resource recovery workers. For this reason, the administrator of the resource recovery business operator determines the resource recovery schedule for each of the plurality of resource recovery workers based on the resource recovery schedule and the resource recovery result for each of the plurality of resource recovery workers stored in the storage unit 111 of the system server 11. It becomes possible to grasp the resource recovery results and resource recovery status.

  According to the resource recovery processing described above, an efficient resource recovery schedule (one for each resource recovery operator) is made according to a resource recovery request (designation of resource recovery location, resource recovery date, etc.) by the resource recovery client. A time schedule for daily resource recovery operations can be determined. Then, the resource recovery operator displays the resource recovery schedule on the operator terminal 20 by transmitting the resource recovery schedule determined to the operator terminal 20 owned by the resource recovery operator together with the address of the resource recovery location, map information, and the like. The resource collection work is carried out in accordance with the requested resource collection schedule. As described above, when the resource recovery operator recovers resources according to a predetermined resource recovery schedule, more efficient resource recovery work can be realized with the shortest movement distance.

[3. Resource management processing]
Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 4, the resource management process in the resource collection system 1 of the present embodiment will be described. This resource management process is a process executed in the collection center 40 that is the destination of the resources collected by the resource collection worker described above. The collection center 40 is installed at a plurality of locations according to the size of the area where the resource collection service provider develops the resource collection service, and has a function as a storage warehouse for managing / storing the type and quantity of the collected resources.

  As shown in FIG. 4, in the collection center 40, first, receiving means (step S20) for receiving the resource collected by the resource collection worker is executed. In this receiving means, the weight of the resource recovered by the resource recovery operator and conveyed by the resource recovery truck is measured. As described above, the weight of the recovered resource is measured for each resource recovery truck that has been transported.

  Next, the collection center 40 executes sorting means (step S21) for sorting the received resources by type (for example, waste paper, plastic bottles, scrap iron, etc.). If the resource is used paper, it is further sorted for each type of used paper. This is because the type of used paper used as a raw material differs depending on the type of recycled paper (hereinafter referred to as recycled paper). The types of used paper are classified into, for example, cardboard, newspapers, magazines, and paper packs.

  Generally, depending on the type of recycled paper, when the recycled paper is cardboard, the used paper is mainly used as raw material. When recycled paper is a magazine, magazines such as cardboard and picture books are mainly used as used paper. When recycled paper is a newspaper, newspapers and magazines such as weekly magazines are mainly used as raw paper. When recycled paper is tissue paper or toilet paper, paper packs are mainly used. In this way, the type of used paper used as a raw material varies depending on the stomach of recycled paper.By separating the used paper in advance according to the type of recycled paper produced at the paper mill, the paper mill can It is possible to promptly provide the necessary types and amounts of used paper.

  In sorting used paper, not only the type of used paper is sorted, but also the work of removing foreign matters mixed in the used paper is performed at the same time. Examples of the foreign matter mixed in the waste paper include things other than paper such as cloth, glass and metal, waterproof paper (paper cups, paper plates, paper cup noodle containers, paper yogurt containers, oil paper, Wax paper, etc.), paper with a lot of ink (back carbon paper such as courier copy slips, carbonless paper, thermal paper such as facsimile), paper with adhesive, etc. In addition, when the resource is used paper, it is possible to efficiently remove the string tied with the recovered paper collected by the string collecting machine installed in the collection center 40.

  Next, the collection center 40 executes packing means (step S22) for packing the received resources for each type. In this packing means, a resource is pressed in units of a predetermined weight (for example, 1 ton) using a dedicated packing machine, and wired (or lapped) to produce a lump of resources of a predetermined size. The resources packed by this packing machine are mainly used paper, and in the case of PET bottles, a lump of resources can be produced by compressing and packing in a predetermined weight (for example, 1 t) in the same manner as used paper. . Moreover, when a resource is scrap iron, the lump of resources can be manufactured by packing with a predetermined weight (for example, 1t).

  The resources packed in a predetermined weight and size are stored in a predetermined location (hereinafter referred to as a storage warehouse) of the collection center 40 by storage means (step S23). The storage warehouse is preferably a place where a certain temperature and humidity are maintained in order to maintain the state of the packed resources, but at least a place where the packed resources can remove rain dew. The quantity of resources stored in the storage warehouse with a predetermined weight and size is transmitted from the management computer 41 of the collection center 40 to the system server 11 of the management center 10 for management. That is, the system server 11 manages the types and quantities of resources stored in the storage warehouses of all the recovery centers 40 managed by the resource recovery system 1 in this embodiment.

  Finally, when there is a request for purchasing used paper as a resource from a resource recycling factory (for example, a paper mill) to the system server 11 operated by the resource recovery company, the system server 11 manages a plurality of recovery centers that are managed. Instruct the shipment of the resources stored in 40. The collection center 40 instructed to ship the resources loads the resources stored in the storage warehouse into the arranged large truck.

  A request for purchasing used paper as a resource may be received not only from domestic paper mills but also from overseas paper mills. In this way, when waste paper is shipped to overseas paper mills, it is necessary to further inspect residual radioactivity, etc., on the used waste paper to prove to overseas paper companies that it is safe. .

[4. Resource collection business consignment]
In the resource recovery system 1 according to the present embodiment, the resource recovery company entrusts resource recovery work to a plurality of individual visiting companies with transactions (hereinafter referred to as resource recovery business consignment) to further improve the resource recovery efficiency. be able to. Hereinafter, the resource collection business consignment in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  The resource recovery system 1 in the present embodiment can entrust resource recovery operations to a plurality of individual visiting operators. That is, a contract for entrusting resource recovery work is made between a resource recovery operator who operates the management center 10 of the resource recovery system 1 and a plurality of individual visiting operators. The plurality of individual visiting businesses in the present embodiment are businesses that visit private homes and provide various services. For example, a home delivery company, a newspaper delivery company, a milk delivery company, a mail delivery company, and a food product delivery company. They are care providers who support the lives of elderly people living alone.

  As shown in FIG. 5, workers 402 of a plurality of individual visiting businesses who have contracted resource collecting business with a resource collecting business operator visit a private house 600 by door with a dedicated vehicle 401 and perform various service operations ( For example, in the case of a visiting care provider, when performing care etc. of an elderly person living alone, in addition to his own service work, resource recovery work is provided as a service at the same time. Then, resources are collected from a plurality of personal houses 600, transported by a dedicated vehicle 401, and temporarily stored in the office 400 of the individual visiting business operator.

  The resources temporarily stored in the offices 400 of the plurality of individual visiting businesses are collected by the resource collecting truck 201 by the resource collecting truck 201 when triggered by collection periodically or requested by the individual visiting businesses. Specifically, the collection of resources temporarily stored in the individual visitor's office 400 is processed as a resource collection request from an individual visitor who has a business tie-up in the resource collection process described above (see FIG. 3). Similarly to the normal resource recovery work, the resource recovery schedule for the resource recovery worker is determined and transmitted to the operator terminal 20 of the resource recovery worker. The resource collection worker collects resources from the offices 400 of a plurality of individual visiting businesses according to the resource collection schedule received by the worker terminal 20 and sends a resource collection result (collection completion report) from the worker terminal 20. While transmitting to the system server 11 of the management center 10, the collected resources are conveyed to the collection center 40 mentioned above.

  The resource recovery result of the resources recovered by the resource recovery operator from the offices 400 of the plurality of individual visitors is obtained by the system server 11 of the management center 10 in the individual resource visit processing (see FIG. 3) described above. Totals are registered for each company. In the resource collection system 1 according to the present embodiment, when a plurality of individual visiting businesses with whom the resource collecting business has transactions responds to the business consignment of the resource recovery work, the plurality of individual visiting businesses according to the business consignment Instead of paying for the collected resources, instead, the business details of multiple individual visitors are distributed between multiple individual visitors and to the customers of these individual visitors. introduce.

  In this way, for example, a resource recovery company introduces a visiting care provider that is one of a plurality of individually visited business operators that are also outsourced to a newspaper delivery company that is one of a plurality of individually visited business operators that have been outsourced. To do. In this way, resource recovery companies introduce each other's business content according to the resource consignment work consignment, so that, for example, a visiting care provider can provide business details to a newspaper delivery company customer. Or a newspaper delivery company can introduce the contents of business to customers of visiting care providers. It will be possible to build new business developments such as developing new customers.

  In this way, by collaborating on resource recovery with multiple individual visitors, multiple individual visitors will provide their customers with a new service called resource recovery services in addition to their own service duties. This makes it possible to efficiently collect a small amount of resources (such as waste paper or plastic bottles) in private homes that are normally discarded as combustible waste, and can further protect the environment and resources.

  Here, the resource recovery requester (establishment, individual, neighborhood association or children's association, etc.) makes a resource recovery request to the resource recovery operator, and the resource recovery worker performs resource recovery work. When visiting the collection requester, it is also possible to introduce to the resource collection requester the business contents of a plurality of individual visitors who have contracted the resource collection business with the above-mentioned resource collection business.

  In the case of a neighborhood association or children's association where the resource collection requester has a certain scale of business, a collection of waste items, etc., collect a certain amount of resources as a regular resource collection request You can ask a resource recovery company. However, if the resource collection requester is an individual, a certain amount of resources cannot be generated unless moving or cleaning at the end of the year. For this reason, when the amount of resources to be collected is too small, there are cases in which the costs associated with collection increase and are not profitable. In addition, in private homes, it is also a burden to set up a storage space until the amount of resources is gathered, so a small amount of resources (waste paper and plastic bottles) are discarded as garbage and incinerated without requesting collection. There are many current situations.

  Therefore, when the resource recovery worker performs the resource recovery work, the resource recovery requester (establishment, individual, It is introduced to the neighborhood association or children's association. Then, the resource recovery operator introduces the business that the resource recovery requester needs from among the multiple individual visiting operators, and the introduced individual visiting operator can aim to expand the business. Because of this, for this reason, a contract of resource recovery business consignment is actively made with a resource recovery company.

  As a result, for example, it is possible to introduce individual visiting businesses that provide various services (for example, nursing care service, newspaper delivery, etc.) that are required for elderly people living alone, which have been increasing in recent years. Since the business operator has contracted with the resource recovery business operator to consign the resource recovery business, it is possible to recover resources that are no longer needed at the time of nursing care service, so it is possible to recover resources more efficiently. it can.

  In this way, in this example, by introducing the business details of multiple individual visiting operators who have contracted resource recovery business with resource recovery business operators to the resource recovery requester, multiple individual visiting business operators Can be improved. In addition, resource recovery operators can recover resources from multiple individual homes by collecting resources from multiple individual homes. Since it is possible to improve the efficiency of resource recovery by saving expenses related to recovery, further environmental protection and resource protection can be achieved.

  As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated through the said Example, this invention is not limited to these. Moreover, each effect mentioned above only enumerated the most suitable effect which arises from this invention, and the effect by this invention is not limited to what was described in the present Example.
