摘要在美国，大部分固体废物流是由大都市地区产生的，而相关的垃圾填埋场往往位于邻近的农村社区。城市固体废物的填埋处理往往给附近居民带来外部成本。或有估价被用来估计外部成本选址在卡特社区的诺克斯县，田纳西州的垃圾填埋场。估计每户每年的外部费用为227美元。家庭收入，规模，年在社区，距离拟议的垃圾填埋场和受访者的教育，性别和对健康风险的看法是重要的，在确定一个家庭的意愿，以避免在卡特社区垃圾填埋场支付。此外，那些饮用水供应有污染风险的家庭愿意比那些使用自来水或瓶装水的家庭多支付141美元。
Abstract Much of the solid waste stream in the United States is generated by metropolitan areas, while associated landfills are often located in adjacent rural communities. Landfill disposal of municipal solid waste often creates external costs to nearby residents. Contingent valuation was used to estimate external costs of siting a landfill in the Carter community of Knox County, Tennessee. Estimates of annual external costs were $227 per household. Household income, size, years in the community, and distance from the proposed landfill and the respondent's education, sex, and perception of health risks were important in determining a household's willingness to pay to avoid having a landfill in the Carter community. Also, households whose (drinking water supplies were at risk of contamination were willing to pay $141 more than those who used piped city water or bottled water.
