This research aims to identify an economic solution based on
community participation for solid waste (SW) management. The
determinants of the decision to participate in the at-source separation
program were analyzed by employing the binary Logit model. The
dataset in this research was collected from 450 observations in the
Mekong River Delta (MRD) Vietnam. The research results reveal that
the SW management service has been improved such as the increasing
quantity of SW collected, the people's high awareness of the benefits
of waste separation, the proportion of respondents supporting the
program. The results of the binary Logit model confirm the influence
of the time, the respondents supporting the environmental protection
program, the income, and the area without the pilot program affecting
the decision to participate in the classification program. From this
result, local authorities should pay special attention to the
dissemination of information about the program to all residents,
especially in urban areas. In addition, in the future, when
implementing the program in the remaining areas, authorities need to
perform well and obey standards in order to increase the trust of
current and potential participating households.
