WHO SHOULD SHOULDER THE COST ON SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT? The Case of Urbanizing Municipalities LEVI GUILLERMO LIMA GEGANZO University of the Philippines Visayas Miag-ao, Iloilo, Philippines 5023 51st Annual Philippine Economic Society Meeting. Intercontinental Manila.
Presentation Outline PART I: Status of Solid Waste Management in Iloilo PART II: Factors Affecting The Willingness-To-Pay For An Improved Solid Waste Collection in Miag-ao Town Proper Among Households in Miag-ao Town Proper
Developed SWM Strategies Using 5Rs • bag fees / eco-bag • plastic ban • penalties for littering and other fines • incentive programs • solid waste collection fee
Solid Waste Management Criteria • Waste Segregation at Source • Material Recovery Facility • Type of MSW Disposal (Controlled or Open) • Safe Closure Plan • Sanitary Landfill • Presence of Municipal SWM Plans
Types of Municipal SWM Plans 1.) Anti-Littering Ordinances / Anti-Dumping Ordinances 2.) Adoption of RA 9003 (ESWMA) 3.) Municipal Environmental Codes 4.) Solid Waste Management Ordinances 5.) Clean and Green Programs 6.) Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan
Rationale of the Study • The Municipality of Miag-ao is dubbed to be one of the best effective implementers of integrated solid waste management in the nation after being a hall-of-famer of the Office of the President as the Cleanest and Greenest Municipality in the Region VI - Western Visayas for three consecutive years and winning the national award for several times.

However, despite its cleanliness, Miag-ao’s increasing economic activities and expansion leads to problems in solid waste management of the town proper. Increased amount of garbage in creeks and waterways, coastal areas and public properties can be observed.
Rationale of the Study increasing volume of solid waste municipal solid waste management services

Rationale of the Study This study was dedicated for the purpose of improving the municipal solid waste collection in the Town Proper of Miag-ao, Iloilo, Philippines. This study will focus on what factors affect the willingness-to-pay of households for an improved municipal solid waste collection service.
Significance of the Study • For legislative purposes • For early sustainable development plans of urbanizing municipalities
Objective of the Study to identify the factors affecting the willingness-to-pay of the households in the town proper of the Municipality of Miag-ao, Iloilo for an improved municipal solid waste collection service
Limitations of the Study • Due to time constraints and other considerations, the research only covered the households in the Town Proper of Miag-ao, Iloilo, Philippines as the area of the study. • A total number of 240 households from the eight (8) barangays in the Miag-ao Town Proper were used as study participants.
Theoretical Framework • Municipal solid waste collection service is one of the services provided by the local government, which aims to eradicate garbage littered all around the community. • Solid waste collection helps in the conservation and protection of the environment since the service is designed to collect solid wastes that are one of the major reasons contributing to the destruction of the environment.
Theoretical Framework • However, benefits that people can get from an efficient and effective solid waste management such as environmental quality cannot be reflected in normal market prices because it has the characteristics of a non-market priced good. • In order to monetize the cost of the non-market priced good, non-market valuation methods are being used.
Theoretical Framework Contingent Valuation Method and Willingess-to-Pay
Derivation of Willingness-To-Pay Where: WTP = average willingness-to-pay of households v = the interval between prices N = number of values of price k = lowest possible value
Estimation of MWTP Coefficient Estimation Mean maximum WTP = 1/β1 [ln (1+ e α0+ β2 Q + Σ βi Si)] Where, β0 and β1 are absolute coefficient estimates from the logistic regression
Estimation of MWTP Turnbull WTP Estimation M* ELB (WTP) = Σ tj (F*j+1 - F*j) j = 0 Where, F*j = N*j / T*j is the ratio of those who are not willing-to-pay on an offered bid price, where N*j = number of not willing-to-pay responses T*j = number of samples offered a specific bid tj = bid price, and f*j = Turnbull estimate of N*j / T*j.
Empirical Model WTP = F(x1, x2, x3,…,x9) Where, X1 = sex X2 = age X3 = highest educational attainment X4 = civil status X5 = household size X6 = household’s total monthly income X7 = average daily volume of waste generated X8 = level of knowledge of household in proper solid waste management X9 = bid price
Regression Binary Logistic Model where, Y is the response of household on their willingness-to-pay Z is the sum of the products of the coefficients and the dependent variables (plus the error term)
Population and Number of Households by Barangays in Miag-ao Town Proper
Population and Number of Households by Barangays in Miag-ao Town Proper
Distribution of Participating Households by their Decision to Pay for an Improved Municipal Solid Waste Collection Service
Socio-Demographic and Economic Profile of Households
More Willing-To-Pay (Socio-Demographics and Education) 1. Males 2. Older people 3. Married individuals 4. College and High School Graduates
More Willing-To-Pay (Occupation) 1. Government Employees 2. Monthly Income: 3,542 vs 3,622 3. Temporary / Contractual Workers
More Willing-To-Pay (Household/OcuupationalInformation) • Bigger Household Size • Lower Income (14,717 vs 17,561) • Owned House vs. Others
More Willing-To-Pay (Solid Waste Disposal Practices) Households with more wastes (all types, except yard wastes) are not willing-to-pay for improved services, in terms of volume and type-count. Households not willing-to-pay for improved services are disposing their wastes more frequently than those willing-to-pay.
More Willing-To-Pay (Solid Waste Disposal Practices) Households more willing-to-pay for improved SWC are slightly more willing-to-pay, than those who are not willing-to-pay. Households more willing-to-pay are more contented in the current SWC thank those who are not willing-to-pay.
