ABSTRACT
This research, carried out during September and October 2020 in the city
of Kankan, made it possible to take stock of the city’s household waste
management. The quantities of waste from the four main landfills in the city
are assessed, namely: Sogbè (1350.3 m3), Station (195.5 m3),
Station University of Kankan (2491.5 m3) and Salamani (369.6 m3).
Waste from three landfills/dumps was characterized for 26 days. This
characterization covered 5,010.6 kg of waste, composed of 4263.9 kg of organic
matter, 462.1 kg of recyclable matter and 284.6 kg of inorganic matter. The
survey concerned a target population of 403 inhabitants, which made it possible
to determine a production ratio per habitant per day of (0.48 kg/habitant/d).
Finally, a composting experiment of 2000 kg of organic matter was carried out.
The results obtained during this study constitute the basic elements allowing
defining a better policy of
management of household solid waste in the city of Kankan.
