“…These servants are in most cases permanently employed, meaning they have reliable sources of income to pay for waste collection services. This research backs the findings from a study conducted in Jigjijga town, Ethiopia's capital, to assess households' WTP for enhanced solid waste management services, which found that occupation was statistically significant at 5% (Yasin, 2021).…”

“…Patrick et al, found that the educational level of the household head determines the how much the income of the household is as well as their readiness to pay for enhanced solid waste management services in Uyo Metropolis, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria (Patrick et al, 2017). In contrast, a study done Somali capital at Jigjijga town revealed that educational levels were statistically insignificant (Yasin, 2021) With a statistical significance of 5%, occupation specifically civil servant was likewise statistically significant. These servants are in most cases permanently employed, meaning they have reliable sources of income to pay for waste collection services.…”

In most Ugandan urban areas, including Lira City, waste management is still a major challenge. In addition to contributing to air, water, and soil pollution, uncollected waste also serves as a breeding ground for pests like rats and insects, degrades the environment, draws snakes and other pests, and poses serious health risks to people. Willingness to pay for solid waste services at household level is essential for enhancing management of garbage at the community level. As a result, this study aimed to assess the variables affecting household willingness to pay for solid waste collection and disposal in Lira City. To achieve the objectives of the study, a survey was conducted utilizing a structured questionnaire to collect quantitative data from 585 randomly selected household heads and Key informant interview to elicit information from city environmental officers, city clerk, city division health inspectors, and managers of the private garbage collecting companies. STATA version 17 was used for data analysis. The households' solid waste management procedures and the level of resident readiness to pay for better garbage collection in Lira city were both assessed using descriptive analysis. Using a binary logistic model, the variables influencing household willingness to pay were examined. The research found that households willing to pay for better garbage collection services was 48.12% of the total household heads (585) and they were willing to pay on average UGX 3012/= (0.84$) per month for this services. Education level, occupation, distance to waste collection sites, and awareness of solid waste environmental concerns were all variables that significantly influenced the amount that households were prepared to pay. It was consequently recommended that citizens of Lira city be made aware of the significance of efficient solid waste management.

“…On the other hand, wastes' have the potential to become wealth if they are managed and exploited efficiently. The production of methane gas, which may later be converted into energy, can be accomplished through the use of municipal solid waste [62]. The technology that can convert waste into energy has reached an advanced stage of development and has been used in a variety of settings around the globe [63].…”

Although Ethiopia is one of the world's fastest-growing economies, access to sustainable energy and cutting-edge clean energy technology remains a major concern. The government is making significant efforts to generate renewable energy and provide more access to its citizens. Despite this, traditional fuels (charcoal, fuel wood, dung cakes, and agricultural waste) account for around 87 percent of Ethiopia's energy use, and they pose a range of health and environmental risks. Solar, hydro, wind, and geothermal resources abound in the nation, but only 5% of the country's total hydroelectric capacity is being used; while, the rest is either underutilized or underdeveloped. An in-depth look at Ethiopia's renewable energy potential, as well as the opportunities and problems it faces, is presented in this review. With a combined installed capacity of over 7000 MW, hydropower and wind power are the most promising renewable energy sources in Ethiopia as of yet. It is hoped that this assessment will shed light on how Ethiopia can harness and maximize the use of its abundant renewable energy sources.

Bogor is one of the cities in Indonesia with a dense population and is experiencing population growth every year. Like other city problems, waste is also a problem in Bogor City. Waste generation in cities like Bogor City has been continued to increase since 2005. Even though the Bogor City Government has socialized with changes in waste management with a new paradigm, those living in residential areas are still using the old paradigm principle which is collect-transport-throw (end of a pipe). Therefore, a study was conducted to determine the waste generated and the perception and role of community participation in managing waste, especially household waste in residential areas. In this study, data collection was carried out in one of the housing areas in Bogor City, namely the Pakuan Regency. The collection of daily waste data to measure waste generation and composition is carried out based on the Indonesian National Standard 19-3964-1994 method. This data analysis technique uses a qualitative descriptive analysis with respondents differentiated on the basis of type of house and the number of occupants. This research produces data on waste generation for small, medium, and large house types 286,12 kg/houses/year, 366,57 tons/houses/year, and 523,67 kg/houses//year respectively. The result showed that the total of household waste, the level of participation and the household’s willingness to pay for TPS 3R plan made it possible to implement the TPS 3R program in this residential. Operational cost for TPS 3R can be covered from the retribution annual revenue.
