Abstract: This paper aims to describe an environmental problem, the accumulation of waste biomass, which is a parameter of property devaluation and a reduction in the living standards of the inhabitants of the wider area of Thessaloniki. In this study, the respondents are 250 interviewees who answered the questions in the questionnaire. In the present study, the dependent WTA (Willingness to Accept) variable is determined in classes and is measured in an amount (currency units). After determining the minimum amount available to farmers (WTA) to participate in the collection and recovery of discarded biomass, averaged at € 28.3. The economic analysis of the utilization of discharged biomass involves matching the environmental to the socio-economic benefit. A solution is proposed for the optimum disposal site of the discharged biomass by multicriteria selection including alternative options to address endogenous difficulties or external factors that necessitate a change in the first optimal solution.
