| dc.description.abstract | This study aims to determine the feasibility of imposing garbage fees on two communities, Barangay Escopa 3 and Marilag, both in District 3 of Quezon City. The residents of Escopa belong to low income brackets while those in Marilag are generally considered of the middle class. This study construed that the demand curve of Marilag is less elastic than that of Escopa. Using demand and supply equations, it was also found out that the price the residents of Marilag are willing to pay for seven trips each week exceeds the needed finances for the same number of trips in both barangays. The excess can be used to fund the other auxiliary activities of a comprehensive solid waste management program. | |
