Abstract

The purpose of this article is to provide an assessment of the Algerian policy of local waste management. Through a series of semi-direct interviews with a number of local actors (politicians, mayors, development agents) in three of the largest municipalities (local authority) of the province of Tizi-ouzou, we looked, first to analyze the degree of the efficiency of local policies and secondly, to provide a measure of the costs of the local waste management. Bottlenecks at the local level as well as at the national level are highlighted. Our research attempts, in the last point, to identify two possible ways of improving the local waste management through inter-municipal cooperation and rationalization of waste management costs.
