Abstract: The aim of this study is to understand households? behaviour regarding waste management. A contingent valuation survey was applied to 403 persons in Paris and Villeparisis. The mean willingness to pay for an improvement of the present situation is 240 francs. 75% of the sample prefer the less polluting incinerator, even if it is the most expansive solution. Moreover 40% of the sample refusing any tax increase, accept to pay when a precise and complete information is given. Classification JEL : Q2.
