“…Thus, when the household income increases, respondents are more likely to pay for improved solid waste management (increased purchasing power). This finding was comparable with other studies in Nigeria, 53 Nepal, 34 Sri Lanka, 58 Ethiopia, 51 and Vietnam. 59 This proves that the high-income respondents were willing to pay more for environmental improvements than low-income respondents, who tend to dispose of solid waste in open spaces.…”

“…The current finding of 89% of households’ WTP for improved MSWC service is comparable with the studies conducted in other parts of Ethiopia. For instance, studies conducted in Batu town, 89.5% 50 ; Bahir Dar city, 86.3% 51 ; and Debre Berhan town, 93.2%. 52 However, the result showed deviation from other studies, such as higher than studies done in Nepal 61% 34 and Nigeria 64.4%.…”

Municipal solid waste collection (MSWC) service financing is a challenge for governments in developing countries, with little or no contribution from the service users. In most Ethiopian cities, residents do not pay for MSWC. This study aims to estimate households’ willingness to pay (WTP) for improved municipal solid waste collection service in Harar city. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 331 households employing the contingent valuation method with a double-bounded dichotomous choice format. The hypothetical program works to collect solid waste twice a week, house-to-house, and safely dispose of it to reduce environmental and health impacts. The Tobit regression model was used to account for the determinants of households’ WTP. Findings showed that 89% (95% CI: 85.4, 92.5) of households were WTP for the improved waste collection program, with an average yearly amount of US$12. The Tobit model shows that being married ( β = 6.9, 95% CI: 1.2, 13.7), having a monthly household income of >8000 ETB ( β = 31.9, 95% CI: 22.1, 41.7), attending education about MSWM ( β = 11.8, 95% CI: 5.6, 18.1), having temporary storage at household level ( β = 15.3, 95% CI: 9.5, 21.2), and recycling practices ( β = 5.5, 95% CI: 1.2, 10.8) positively influenced the WTP. Interventions like providing educational programs about waste handling and recycling and providing or encouraging households to have temporary storage at the household level are needed to enhance users’ WTP. The policy implication of the finding is that community contribution through service fees could be a strategy for sustainable financing.

Background: Waste is a byproduct of human life. Nowadays, municipal solid waste is being produced in excessive amounts and in this way, both developing and developed countries are facing challenges regarding generation of waste. Economic development, urbanization and improved living standards in cities have contributed to increase in the amount and complexity of solid waste produced. Methods: this study aims to Analysis of households' willingness to pay for improved solid waste management Services in Gondar city, Ethiopia: evidence from a double-bounded dichotomous contingent Valuation Method.Result: A total of 222 randomly selected households were interviewed to address the objective of this study. Finally, the survey result indicated that 192(87.3%) of sample households were willing to pay for improved solid waste management services. Following this, the one and double-bounded dichotomous contingent valuation result revealed that the mean willingness to pay estimated from the Double Bounded dichotomous CVM and open ended formats were 34.48 and 17.0756 ETB[1] per month per households respectively. The total WTP was obtained by adding the WTP of the total households in each stratum, and is equal to 941361ETB and 1900848 ETB for open ended and double bounded format, respectively. Additionally, the bivariate probit model result demonstrated that income and education have positive and significant effects on willingness to pay bid amounts. The results, age, marital status, Bid1 and Bid2 have a negative and significant effect on households’ amount of willingness to pay for better solid waste management services. Conclusion: When allocating service charges the city municipality considers amount of solid waste generation and income level of the households. The study results show that when educational status of the households increases and increase their willing to participate in planned improved solid waste management service. Thus, awareness creation is importance for better solid waste management. Additionally the city municipality facilitates a learning media for uneducated households to come up with at least secondary education level.

“…The amount of WTP shows the expectation of the desired environmental quality. Improvement SWM in Bahir Dar city highly factors consideration in the SWM demand of households [13]. WTP and the concept of waste management of South African households are vital to the public policy implication on the environment and health sustainability [14].…”
