In Kinshasa in general and in the commune of Limete in particular, the problem of waste management have become an important concern. Significant problems with the waste management are very common in the majority of the streets. The analysis from this study shows that all visited landfills are uncontrolled and not respect any regulations on management of urban solid waste. These discharges show a lack of enforcement of waste management policies without participation of the population in the resolve of the waste management problems. Most landfills are located in residential areas, along rivers, along public units, even school routes, hospitals and churches. This study reveals the major problem in the waste management in the commune of Limete. This is a negatively aspect of the low implication of the authorities, noncooperation of the population caused mainly by the precarious information.
