Summary/Abstract: The management of (plastic) industrial waste is a major concern to modern companies. At the southern entrance of the town of Yaoundé, the establishment of brewery and gaseous product company the Brasserie du Cameroun, is a situation that produces a large scale of plastic bottles in the town of Yaoundé in general and especially in this locality. It is with the aim of bringing out the consequences of this reality on the population and the environment that the current work is written. So, using field surveys and different observations, it is realized that the management of (plastic) industrial waste by this company at the southern entrance of the town of Yaoundé accounts for the different illnesses affecting an increasing population that is carrying out agriculture in the marshy areas situated below the brasseries du Cameroun. This requires sensitization and a synergy between the actors in order to ensure that the collection and recycling of these waste is instead beneficial to the company as well as the riverains populations.
