Given the state of insalubrity faced by the inhabitants of cities, communities and villages in so-called developing countries, particularly in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo), a study on the production of waste and its composition with a view to its probable reprocessing would be significant. In the city of Likasi, DR Congo, this study looked at the case of existing management. Although this management leaves something to be desired, it does allow the bulk of the waste produced to be removed. In practice, the aim was to see what is being done to remove or eliminate the waste produced by the population of Likasi through its various activities. Afterwards, a sample of the waste had to be taken in order to study its composition with the means available. The results obtained show great potential in the waste, with significant contents of recyclable materials such as paper, plastic and some metals such as aluminium and copper. When reprocessed, this waste turns out to be an invaluable source of wealth.

Abstract
Given the state of insalubrity faced by the inhabitants of cities, communities and villages in so-called developing countries, particularly in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo), a study on the production of waste and its composition with a view to its probable reprocessing would be significant. In the city of Likasi, DR Congo, this study looked at the case of existing management. Although this management leaves something to be desired, it does allow the bulk of the waste produced to be removed. In practice, the aim was to see what is being done to remove or eliminate the waste produced by the population of Likasi through its various activities. Afterwards, a sample of the waste had to be taken in order to study its composition with the means available. The results obtained show great potential in the waste, with significant contents of recyclable materials such as paper, plastic and some metals such as aluminium and copper. When reprocessed, this waste turns out to be an invaluable source of wealth.

Abstract: (french)
Vu l’état d’insalubrité auquel sont confrontés les habitants des villes, collectivités et villages des pays dits en voie de développements, notamment en République Démocratique du Congo (RD Congo), une étude sur la production des déchets et la composition de ceux-ci en vue d’un probable retraitement serait non négligeable. Dans la ville de Likasi, en RD Congo, la présente étude s’est intéressée au cas de gestion déjà existante. Même si c’est une gestion qui laisse à désirer, elle permet, tant soit peu, à évacuer le gros des immondices produites. En pratique, il s’agissait de se rendre compte de ce qui se fait, en vue d’éloigner ou d’éliminer les déchets que la population de Likasi produit de ses différentes activités. Après, il fallait constituer un échantillon des déchets afin d’en étudier la composition avec les moyens disponibles. Ainsi, les résultats obtenus montrent de grands potentiels dans les déchets avec des teneurs importantes en matériaux recyclables comme le papier, le plastique et quelques métaux tels que l’aluminium et le cuivre. Retraité, ce déchet s’avère être une source de richesse inestimable.
