ABSTRACT
The study sought to analyse the refuse removal tariff setting in Municipalities. In this study the
Finance Director, middle management, employees and councillors of Mutare City Council as well
as households in the high density suburbs were used as the research subjects. Data collection was
mainly by way of 53 questionnaires, 7 scheduled interviews as well as Mutare City Council
documentary review. The results showed that residents’ inputs were not crafted into the final
budget. The Council was not educating the residents on litter reduction and waste management
projects. The Finance Committee’s tariff was operating at US$2.87 and was below cost. The
refuse removal tariff was not cost reflective since mark-up and other costs were not included. The
majority respondents agreed on a US$8.00 charge for refuse removal. City of Mutare must
establish another dumping site other than the usual Munene River which had received pollution
complaints from the owners in Mozambique. The study showed that the decision makers did not
have adequate time to discuss tariff setting criteria’s reports with their subordinates and the
households. This study recommends the Finance Committee to be given some orientation on
refuse removal tariff setting procedures and the implementation of the processes. Finally, it is also
recommended that further research be undertaken in order to establish refuse removal tariff setting
processes used in municipalities.
