Abstract:
Improvement in solid waste management system involves a direct extra cost. To make it sustainable, residents of the community to be managed need to pay a partial or total cost. Communities may resist to make such payments and result in failure of any upgraded system. Keeping this possibility in mind it is very important to know about the willingness to pay for an improved system. In this research, willingness to pay for improved solid waste management system was studied. A survey was conducted in Hayatabad Township, regarding community response for an improved solid waste management and segregation of solid waste at source. A total of 527 household responses were received, approximately about 80 households per phase. Out of 527 responses, about 93% of the community was of the view that the existing solid waste collection system should be improved, and out of this chunk of people, 66.6% were found to be willing to pay/contribute to have this system developed and operational. This research study is expected to help a beneficial role in planning of an improved solid waste systems in the region of study.
