Solid waste management across the globe has always been a challenge for all levels of government. In Ibadan, refuse collection and disposal have become a complex, capitalintensive and expensive project such that no single institution of local government, state or federal government parastatal can finance it from its own limited resources. The only viable option was to incorporate private sector participation (PSP) into solid waste management and disposal program. This study therefore evaluated the determinants of households' willingness to pay for solid waste management in Ibadan North LGA. Structured Questionnaire was administered to elicit information from respondents on their socioeconomic and demographic characteristics as well as their awareness and willingness to pay for waste management from the respondents. Descriptive Statistics, Likert scale, Logistic Regression and the Contingency Valuation Method were used for data analysis. The respondents preferred private waste collectors because they felt they are more efficient. The result further revealed that household size, major occupation and total household expenditure were the significant factors that determined the respondents' willingness to pay for solid waste management in Ibadan North LGA. Effective polices to encourage private and public investors to create market potential for waste disposal services should be put in place. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
