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.
