Abstract: This paper analyses the modes of household waste disposal according to the standard of living of heads of households in Cameroon. The data for this study were obtained from the Fourth Cameroon Household Survey (ECAM 4) with a sample of 10 303 heads of households. In order to achieve this objective, the simple logistic model was used. The econometric analysis reveals that as the standard of living of the head of household increases, the probability of choosing a garbage bin or waiting for collection trucks or collection agents at the source increases, and as the standard of living of the head of household increases, the probability of disposing of liquid household waste in a yard or in the wilderness decreases; in fact, the probability of being educated increases when the standard of living increases, and also the probability of a head of household living in decent housing increases by 3% and 8% respectively when the standard of living increases.
