Abstract

A growing quantity of solid waste is one of the most important environmental hazards prevailing in developing countries. It is difficult for the government in developing countries like Pakistan to rectify it properly due to a scarcity of resources. This study was undertaken to quantify public willingness to pay and find its determinants. This paper is based on a household survey conducted in Sheikh Colony in PAF Academy Risalpur in October 2016. Results indicated that the majority of the sampled respondents were willing to pay for better solid waste management (SWM) services. The results further showed that the size of the household, Income, and age of respondents were the important determinants of their willingness to pay for better Solid Waste Management services.

Key Words: Willingness to pay, solid waste management, survey, primary data.
