Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the dysfunction of the garbage collection on the coast of Ngor through GPS which is the processing of satellite images combined with field surveys. It highlights and analyzes the failures of the waste collection system in Ngor by the techniques of Geographic Information Systems. Some suggestions are propose to improve the overall quality of the waste management service, the quality of the environment and public health. This study sought the issue of management of solid urban waste on the coast of Ngor (Dakar/Senegal) from production to final landfill. Its importance lies in that it highlighted the salient points such as the location of illegal dumping of garbage. The location of collection circuits will enable decision makers to meet the logistical needs and fit into the establishment of a waste management strategy. This study helps strengthen the collection at the household level (which still dump their waste very often in nature) to encourage recycling, recovery for a sustainable environmental management.
