Factors influencing households' willingness to comply with municipal solid waste management regulations in the Kumasi Metropolis, Ghana.

This study investigates the factors that influence households' willingness to comply with municipal solid waste (MSW) management regulations in the Kumasi Metropolis of Ghana. Data from a survey conducted in 400 households in Kumasi were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a binomial logistic regression model. The study found that households' willingness to comply with MSW management regulations is influenced by education, employment, income, monthly expenditure on MSW management, familiarity with MSW management regulations and regulation benefit expectations (P<0.05). The city authorities should educate households on the benefits they stand to gain from their strict compliance with MSW management regulations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
