This paper highlights current household waste management practices and associated costs in the city of Tiassale in Côte d'Ivoire. The collection of information involved documentary research, direct observation, focus group and questionnaire. The study indicates that current domestic waste management practices concern the disposal of waste in garbage cans (78%) and the disposal of waste by a member of the household (52%). Moreover, the perceptions of households linked to the waste management system reveal the non-organization of this system (82.1%). The absence of garbage bins (79.8%), the absence of a pick-up truck (71.6%) and the absence of a pre-collector (52.6%). Under these conditions, households' non-satisfaction with the waste management system is significant (53.2%). Therefore, these populations advocate a collection of waste in the morning before 9 am (55.8%) and a settlement of the costs of collecting garbage both free (7.1%) and periodic, in particular weekly (36.7 %), Daily (24.2%), monthly (22.6%). Thus, all these concerns must be taken into account in planning actions to improve waste management in this locality.
