متن کاملRecycling and Solid Waste Study:
In this paper we aim to determine how the city of Eugene, Oregon compares to other cities in terms of its citizens’ willingness-to-pay (WTP) for recycling service. Also, we will determine what the expected WTP for Eugene residents and use that result to make policy recommendations. We use WTP as an indication of a city’s relative valuation of recycling services in their community. We will use W...
