Abstract

The district of Abomey-Calavi has been going through an important demographic growth since the 1980s. This triggers difficulties in the management of waste and waste water and makes of this district a high-risk area for the basic purification. With the aim of contributing to a better knowledge of the issues of basic purification for a more effective intervention, we studied the problem concerning the management of domestic solid waste in the deprived areas: Agamadin, Gbodjo and Tokpa-zoungo. A descriptive and analytical study was carried out. The technique of sampling was a random one. Of our investigations, it emerges that 34,52 % of the investigated households are subscribed to the structures of pre-collection of garbage while 65,48 % are not. The garbage is daily deposited by households deprived of trash cans. The garbage of both subscribed households and non-subscribers finishes on the wild garbage dumps. The filth heaps proliferates in districts. Waste water of shower, laundry and dish washing is poured in the middle of streets or in open-air, half or fully closed catch basins.
