Characterisation and recovery of organic waste

This book is dedicated to the valorization of household waste for the production of organic compost for peripheral agriculture in the District of Bamako. Organic waste management is a crucial problem in African countries, including Mali. The Malian government alone cannot cope with this scourge. It was with a view to reducing the amount of waste stored in our district, and above all to creating an income-generating activity around waste, that we opted for this study. The aims of this experimental study are twofold: to contribute to relieving congestion and facilitating the treatment of intermediate household waste depots; and to contribute to the development of environmentally-friendly agriculture (through the provision of quality compost for soil and plants) and producing products that are less harmful for consumption. To do this, we worked in a limited area at Faladié SEMA in Bamako's Commune VI, where we tested the collection, sorting and processing of organic waste.
