Executive Summary
A survey was conducted to provide a baseline assessment of current public attitudes and barriers to
paying for waste collection and to suggested areas for improvement, i.e. a “form of needs” analysis for
subsequent education and awareness initiatives. The survey also provides an indicative snapshot of
trends in public awareness across a range of socio and geo-demographic regions of Metro Manila.
The work comprised the completion of 2000 survey forms between March and April 2003 within five
selected LGU’s namely:
• Makati
• Malabon
• Muntinlupa
• Pasig
• Valenzuela
Although the sample size is small, 400 surveys per LGU were conducted and wherever possible, the
distribution attempted to be representative of the varying socio-economic groups that live within the LGUs.
Surveys were completed through face-to-face doorstep interviews and limited to one per household. The
5 LGUs selected were themselves deemed to provide a representative, regional cross section of Metro
Manila households. Although it is a recognized that a sample of this size is not statistically representative
of the whole of Metro Manila it is deemed indicative of typical attitudes and awareness and does allow an
analysis of suggestive trends / perceptions.
The survey covered the following aspects:
• Section A - Identification and knowledge about waste collection and disposal

• Section B - Existing situation regarding waste collection and disposal
• Section C - Waste Segregation and recycling
• Section D - Willingness to pay for waste collection and disposal
Key findings included: -

• Nearly 70% felt that there was a waste problem in Metro Manila
• There appears to be a correlation between waste problems and lower income households
• Problems identified with waste are noted ‘every day’ by half of those registering
occurrences
• In general people believed that financial resources allocated for waste collection and
disposal were adequate, whether or not these were properly utilized.
• There was a strong ownership perception with the barangays to be held responsible for
keeping the community clean of waste
• Nearly 70% were not very satisfied with the collection services provided
• There was a surprisingly high appreciation of the need to site sanitary landfill in their own
areas (more than 1 in 4).
• About 50% of the community was unwilling to pay for waste collection and disposal.
Public Awareness Survey Report No: 2 AEA Technology i

1. Introduction
This survey was conducted to provide a baseline assessment of current public attitudes and barriers to
waste to suggest areas for improvement, i.e. a form of needs analysis for subsequent education and
awareness initiatives. The survey also provides an indicative snapshot of trends in public awareness
across a range of socio and geo-demographic regions of Metro Manila. The survey was constructed such
that whilst gathering people’s existing perceptions they understood the questions and were guided through
the questionnaire with the use of pictures to illustrate some of the problems, eg. Question A12.
2. Methodology
The work comprised the completion of 2000 survey forms between March and April 2003 within five
selected LGU’s namely:
• Makati
• Malabon
• Muntinlupa
• Pasig
• Valenzuela
Although the sample size is small, 400 surveys per LGU were conducted and wherever possible, the
distribution attempted to be representative of the varying socio-economic groups that live within the LGU’s.
Surveys were completed through face-to-face doorstep interviews and limited to one per household. The
5 LGU’s selected were themselves deemed to provide a representative, regional cross section of Metro
Manila households.
It is a recognized that a sample of this size is not statistically representative of the whole of Metro Manila it
is deemed indicative of typical attitudes and awareness and does allow an analysis of suggestive trends /
perceptions. A brief summary table of typical features of the survey respondents is shown in the Table
below:

The survey form is included in Annex 1 for reference and covered the following aspects:
• Section A - Identification and knowledge about waste collection and disposal

• Section B - Existing situation regarding waste collection and disposal
• Section C - Waste Segregation and recycling
• Section D - Willingness to pay for waste collection and disposal

3. Findings
The survey forms have been summarized for each of the five selected LGU’s separately but also for the
complete survey. These are summarized in Tables 1 to 6 attached in Annex 2.
Tables 1 to 3 summarize a restricted number of aspects of the survey form that have not been represented
graphically as the response is agreement or disagreement with a statement. A detailed review of the data
is available in Annex 2. The remaining criteria assessed as part of the survey are also illustrated in
Figures 1 to 11. These figures summarize the findings for all 5 LGU’s sampled and the total number of
responses received.
4. Identification and Knowledge
On the basis of review of the data it should be noted that a majority of the people sampled (67%) felt that
there was a waste problem in Metro Manila (A.8). The strongest feelings were in Muntinlupa and
Valenzuela at around 80%, suggesting the correlation between waste problems and lower income
households - the survey shows a higher percentage of people in those areas working as laborers
compared to the three other LGU’s. By contrast, Makati survey respondents were split 50:50 on the issue
indicating a much greater degree of satisfaction with current waste disposal arrangements.
These perceptions are reinforced by the percentages of people recording they see waste piles on the
streets or open burning of waste. Against an average figure of 53%, again the extremes are Muntinlupa
(78%) and Valenzuela (66%) whereas Makati is as low as 24%. Furthermore in Muntinlupa and
Valenzuela the problems identified with waste are noted ‘every day’ by almost half of those registering
occurrences. This strongly suggests residents in those LGU’s desire a higher level of waste management
service. This was also reflected when respondents were asked if financial resources allocated for waste
collection and disposal were adequate and whether or not these were properly utilized. The percentages
agreeing with the statement were 77% in the Makati but only 44% and 45% in Muntinlupa and Valenzuela
respectively, with an average of 53%.
The survey highlighted some of the primary concerns that the community have with regards to waste
pollution within Metro Manila (See Figure 1). Concerns related to health received the highest level of
responses at 28% and health issues are likely to have been the key issue for respondents noting
‘unsanitary conditions’, ‘air pollution’ and ‘odor’ problems.

On the issue of whether or not the community should take action to correct waste pollution problems there
was very strong agreement that this should occur with the average of 91% or respondents agreeing with
the statement. When assessing the actions the community would be willing to take to improve the
situation 56% stated that they would be willing to volunteer in organized campaigns and 32% cited that
they would be willing to pay for better collection and disposal, Figure 2.
In addition 45% of respondents indicated that they felt the barangay should be responsible for keeping the
community clean of waste, followed by 31% who felt the city or municipality should be responsible.
Interestingly, only 9% felt this responsibility should rest with the MMDA.

Around 42% of respondents for all of the LGUs indicated that they had received information on the
Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 or RA9003. In Makati the figure of 71% was significantly
higher than in any other region.
A similar trend was illustrated on the issue of whether or not ordinances about how you should prepare
your waste for collection and how the city or municipality disposes of its waste existed. Although the
average number that agreed with this statement was higher (55%), lower levels of agreement were noted
in the Malabon and Muntinlupa responses. Overall 57% of those surveyed were aware what the
ordinances were and what their responsibilities are under these. The figures for Malabon and Muntinlupa
were again the lowest. A majority of all respondents (68%) were aware of what the penalties and fines are
for violations concerning the improper disposal of waste (including dumping and burning). Again for all
these issues, Makati responses were by far the highest – nearly 90% for each of the three specific lines of
enquiry.

5. Existing Situation - Waste Collection and Disposal
Nearly 60% of respondents indicated that their waste was collected by either a house-to-house collection
service or taken by someone from the household to a waste collection point in the area. The variation in
the range of methods for collection is illustrated in Figure 4.

Other
For the 5 LGUs surveyed approximately 80% of people stated that a collection service existed – either
door service or from public containers. Key points to note are that in Makati only 7% appear to be without a
service and as much as 65% of respondents have a door service. This contrasts with Valenzuela where
41% recorded no service at all and Muntinlupa where 62% of the service is provided by collection from
public containers. These figures are supported by the fact that although in total 57% of survey
respondents are located along the route of a waste collection truck, Makati and Pasig figures are
significantly higher (both 68%) than in the other 3 LGU’s suggesting a more comprehensive door service
collection exists.
As shown in Figure 5, just over 50% indicated that their waste was collected on a daily basis and over 75%
had their waste collected on at least a bi-weekly basis.

Figure 6 illustrates for the vast majority (nearly 70%) of the community the collection services are provided
by the City or the municipal sanitation department.

An evaluation of satisfaction regarding waste collection services was also conducted as part of the survey
that indicated that approximately 30% were very satisfied with the collection services provided (Figure 7).
However, differences between LGUs were very apparent with a range from only 14% in Malabon to 55% in
Makati. Similarly, the need for improvements in Valenzuela services was highlighted with 44% being not
satisfied at all with their service (compared to only 8% in Makati).
Analysis of those expressing dissatisfaction, particularly from Valenzuela and Malabon, reveals a clear
wish for more frequent and reliable waste collection provision. (See Figure 8)

Other problem
With regard to exploring possible segregation and disposal options:
• A common trend is exhibited with regards to the use of a separate container for kitchen waste, with
on average 72% undertaking this form of segregation, suggesting home composting initiatives
could be successfully implemented. This would be easiest in Makati (83%) and more difficult in
Valenzuela (62%).
• Only 22% of respondents stated that they were aware of where the waste was taken for disposal
(with a range from Muntinlupa at only 8% up to Malabon 38%). However on average 77% were

concerned whether the final disposal was environmentally safe and acceptable (90% in the case of
Malabon).
• Fewer than 1 in 12 responses indicated that they thought there was room for a sanitary landfill in
their community suggesting some appreciation of the scale of site required within already crowded
urban areas.
• The range of responses to the question of ‘would you agree to a sanitary landfill in your area’ (17%
in Makati and Muntinlupa to 45% in Valenzuela) would suggest although there is an appreciation of
restricted sites for new landfills, there is a demand for improved disposal facilities. Overall, a
surprisingly high number of respondents (more than 1 in 4) would appear to not object to a new
landfill in their area.
6. Waste Segregation/Recycling and Willingness to Pay
Overall, nearly 50% of respondents knew about, and also participated in, waste segregation or recycling
programs in their neighborhood. However, these figures were significantly higher in Makati than in any of
the other LGUs.
Of all the respondents around 30% claimed to have conducted home composting. This figure is
reasonably high given the proportion of households that do not have a garden where the compost could be
used. It was also very positive to note a unanimous majority (91%) from the survey that would be willing to
segregate their waste if the city/municipality collected biodegradable waste for a composting program.
These figures should however be viewed with a certain amount of skepticism - public surveys across the
world have, almost without exception, recorded much higher levels of claimed participation in recycling and
composting activities than official figures actually show in practice.
More generally nearly 70% of replies indicated a wish to receive more information about waste collection
and disposal services provided, how it’s done and where the waste eventually goes.
On then issue of fees for the provisions of collection, treatment and disposal of waste nearly 50% of the
community were unwilling to pay. Moreover, 40% of the respondents indicated they would be willing to
pay but only less than 0.5% of the family income (Figure 9). For survey respondents, Pasig shows the
highest average monthly income and correspondingly this LGU features the greatest willingness to pay a
higher proportion of their family income for waste treatment services.

3% 1% 4%
It is difficult to compare the findings of what people are willing to pay in comparison with average
expenditures for other countries simply because data is not readily available to allow comparison of other
countries willingness to pay. What can be compared is the average expenditure for other countries and
compare that with the highest level of expenditure wiling to be paid that this survey illustrates, namely 2%
of average income, which approximates to $6 per capita. In fact this compares favorably with expenditure
in countries such as India and Bangladesh and even with some of the Accession countries in Europe such
Bulgaria, Czech Republic and Rumania.
A table has been prepared based on the Consultants own knowledge and calculations (see Annex 3).
As indicated in Figure 10, a third of the community felt that the government should collect these fees as
part of the land and property tax. A further third indicated that these fees should be collected as part of a
municipal management services charge.

On the basis of the survey a large proportion of the community indicated that they would prefer that the
sanitation department should provide these services and that the fees should also be paid to these
departments (Figure 11). A significantly smaller proportion of 13% stated that they would prefer these
services to be provided by and fees paid to a private company.
Figure 11: Prefered service provider and to whom fees paid
17% Sanitation department
10% A private company
There is no difference
60%
13% Don't know
When assessing the 50% or so of the entire survey that were unwilling to pay for these services 39% of
this subset claim they simply can’t afford to pay (Figure 12). This suggests a low level of disposable
income and/or that the waste problem is not perceived to be serious enough for the public to wish to
sacrifice ‘optional’ expenditure – e.g. the purchase of cellular phone cards – for improvements in waste
management.
Around one quarter of these respondents believed that general taxes should cover these costs. It is also
interesting to note that 26% of households essentially rejected a household charge since they do not
believe that the improvements will be made. This suggests a credibility gap with their local government
and the perception of the LGUs ability to implement and manage systems to provide basic urban services.
This would imply there is a need for a communication campaign to educate the population as to the scale
of the current problem. i.e. there is a waste crisis that the existing landfill sites are inadequate, dangerous
and running out of capacity, and that MMDA/DENR have been unable to locate a sanitary landfill site
outside of Metro Manila for the past three or more years
Figure 12: Reasons for not willing to pay waste management fees

26% 39% Don't believe that the

3% taxes should cover the
cost
26% Other
Further evaluation of the payment issue concluded alternative lower costs methods would be acceptable to
around 33% of all respondents. Specifically, a willingness to volunteer in community efforts (23%) was
almost twice as popular as walking a longer distance to dispose of waste (11%), which in turn was almost
twice as popular as a reduced collection frequency option (5%).

7. Recommendations
• That the survey be further developed to compare the public perception: -

i. regarding waste to other key areas for concern such as traffic, crime, economy etc.
ii. regarding the cost of waste as compared to other social costs such as mobile phones
• Additional surveys to be carried out utilizing this survey as a basis to track trends and changes in
people’s perception.
• Future surveys should contain more detailed or focused closed questions with only multiple choice
responses, questions could include: -
i. Where is your waste being disposed off?
ii. Are you aware of the current status of the disposal sites in Metro Manila
iii. Do you think the current method of disposal is a safe and environmentally friendly practice? etc.
This could be used for comparison of responses from people living on or next to disposal sites to those
who do not.
• Surveys should be constructed so that basic information, such as the respondents income range etc is
obtained first so that it can then be used across the board to assess all the respondents responses

D. Willingness-to-Pay for Waste Collection and Disposal
“One of the major problems of proper waste collection and especially disposal, is the lack of money your city or

such as sanitary landfills, residents and businesses pay a fee through a special tax, a pay-as-you-throw scheme or
some combination or variation.”
D.1 The cost of waste management services is currently provided from government income such as the
IRA and businesses and commercial establishments probably pay a fee based on floor area and not
volume. In order to improve waste collection and disposal services, your government is considering the
introduction of specific charges to residents and increases in charges to businesses for waste collection
and disposal to cover improvements in service and to provide for better environmental protection which
includes the reduction of waste borne health problems for you and your family.

disposal service?

As part of the electricity bill c
As part of the water bill d
