Gestion intégrée des ordures ménagères dans le District d'Abidjan en Côte d'Ivoire: Cas des communes de Port-Bouët et Treichville

The economic development of Abidjan has as a corollary the galloping demography and the growing production of household waste. The objective of this study is to diagnose the functioning of the household waste sector in the district of Abidjan, particularly in the municipalities of Port-Bouět and Treichville after a concession of the sector to new private operators. This study was carried out through direct surveys and field observations. Thus, households produce as waste peelings (67.6% in Port-bouět and 78.5% in Treichville), food debris (7.4% in Port-bouět and 4.1% in Treichville), plastic (13 % in Port-bouět and 9.3% in Treichville), Balayure (4.2% in Port-bouět and 2.2% in Treichville), glassmaking (0.8% in Port-bouět and 0.7% in Treichville), iron / aluminum (3.7% in Port-bouět and 3% in Treichville), paper (3.3% in Port-bouět and 2.2% in Treichville). In addition, it appears that households have different receptacles for collecting household waste for storage. The latter is done without selective sorting of waste. The collection and transport of waste is done on a daily basis by private operators, as well as their treatment, which is nothing other than landfilling at the recovery and technical landfill center (CVET) of Kossihouen. However, the waste does not pass through a sorting center and recovery in this CVET is at an embryonic stage.
