Mbeubeuss receives all the household and solid industrial waste produced in the Dakar region, home to about 2.5 million inhabitants. The waste amounts to 460,000 tons a year. A research team, known as the Dakar Focus City Team, will work to improve the living conditions of the people who live near the Mbeubeuss landfill. Working with the communities of Malika, the team will study various solutions for reducing the health effects of the landfill, improving the quality of the environment and promoting job creation.
