The paper introduces methodology designed in order to evaluate and compare efficiency of chosen municipal waste expenditure via calculating efficiency ratings. First part of the paper briefly describes current situation around environmental protection expenditure in Czech Republic and explains reason why the area of current municipal waste expenditure has been chosen for the efficiency evaluation. Second part is dedicated to the idea of the efficiency evaluation methodology which is based on Cost-effectiveness Analysis (CEA). CEA is working with two aspects of efficiency. First aspect is efficiency of expenditure per capita and second is efficiency of expenditure per municipal waste ton. Data necessary for the analysis together with the sources where these data can be acquired are also introduced. The description of exact process of calculating efficiency ratings for each municipality then follows. Whole methodology is demonstrated on selected sample of municipalities together with the results of efficiency evaluation and their graphical depiction. Last part of the paper discusses problems that might arise while performing this efficiency evaluation together with possible expansions of the evaluation.
Keywords: efficiency, current municipal waste expenditure, Cost-effectiveness analysis
