Since not much research had been done in the study area regarding the Transport and Payment System of Municipal Solid Waste Management, the goal of this study was to assess the system in Bishoftu City. The researcher used a mixed approach in this study, combining quantitative and qualitative data. The study used questionnaires and interviews as data collection tool. The majority of respondents (55.1%) agreed that the city offers a safe municipal solid waste transportation service. The majority of respondents disagreed that the amount of solid waste generated by the household determines the charging. Nonetheless, most respondents concurred that all households should pay the same amount. The majority of respondents (55.1%) were willing to pay more for superior service. According to the findings, all community groups must have access to the current transportation infrastructure, which includes solid waste transportation vehicles and other accessories.
