Taking into account personal or collective ownership of food security, can the reuse of organic waste be a waste management solution? The use of organic matter in market gardening. Bio-waste refers to organic waste produced by human and animal activities. It accounts for approximately 30% of household waste in my research. Biowaste can be recycled through composting or methanization. Organic recycling should be of interest to many people, and each of them should have reasons to use the organic waste produced. The objective of this article is to highlight biowaste recycling through composting in the municipality of Ngor. The method adopted is essentially based on a combination of techniques for collecting data in the field. This is known as the empirical method. Following an assessment of the situation in the field, we drew up maintenance guides and developed a questionnaire. The starting point for this contribution is the assumption that the recovery of organic waste helps to reduce the amount of waste going into household bins and that public action should focus on raising awareness among the local population. This contribution focuses on three main areas: firstly, sorting household waste (food waste) at source; secondly, methods of composting this waste and the use of compost for small-scale market gardening will be analyzed.
