The Wild landfill of Akouedo welcomes all waste from Abidjan district for 50 years, currently more than one million tonnes of waste per year. For several years, considerable damage and disasters are attributed to this landfill whose exploitation is the most succinct like what happens in major African cities. Previous studies have shown that the environment of this discharge is completely polluted. It therefore represents a risk not only to human health but also for the lagoon ecosystem and the slick of Abidjan. The objective of this study is to make states places in the aim to better understand the significance of impacts, characterize the types of occupation of the site planned for the landfill and to conduct a survey of local residents and users (actors operating on the landfill site: recuperators, farmers and traders) to better assess the impact of this discharge on the socio-economic situation of the latters. The outcome analysis of the description of the physical setting has proven, through the impacts observed, that the discharge adversely affects the environment and the living cadre of Abidjan populations in general and riparian in particular. However, the landfill site is the seat of intense cultural activities and recovery. The crops grown are mostly market gardening (okra, tomatoes ...) and food (banana, cassava, corn ...). On the other hand, the socio-economic analysis arising from the survey of local residents and users of the landfill indicated that the activities of recovery and cultivation operated on the site is an important source of income for the latters.
