Abstract
The production of waste throughout the world is often related to the importance of the human populations in the areas, their concentrations or dispersions like their activities. However their management is dependent on the degree of civilisation and instruction of the people. The rural center of Walungu has said "Walungu Center" knows a demographic explosion without preceding for one decade busy by 1064habitants in 2006 to 2000 individuals in 2014 on only 4Km2. This demographic boom which attracts the curiosity of more than one person is particularly related to a positive migratory balance (40.6% emigration and 59.4% immigration), consequence of the massive escapes of the populations in prey of insecurity in the peripheral villages (bands armed), a high birth rate (55%0: Third world) but also attracted by the medical infrastructures (General hospital of Walungu, EFSKI), school (five secondary schools of reputation and the Teaching Institute of higher learning of Walungu, ISP/Walungu), administrative (chief town of the territory), usual E, sedentary (camps of the Mission of the Organization of the United Nations for Maintains Security in Congo, MONUSCO as well as the presence of the Armed forces of the Democratic republic of Congo, FARDC) and commercial (market power station of Mudwanga). This center which, today appears like a city, knows inter alia problems waste and their management. Indeed, it is observed in this center of waste of various origins (domestic: 85%, schools, market, church, hospital: 12% and of the camp of the MONUSCO: 3%) and of various nature (organic: 75% and inorganic: 25%) The latter are badly managed however their good management would constitute more advantages than of disadvantages being given their natures: 75% organics and of domestic origin, not of industries which would produce toxic wastes except the MONUSCO.

Abstract: (french)
La production des déchets à travers le monde est souvent liée à l'importance des populations humaines dans les régions, leurs concentrations ou dispersions ainsi que leurs activités. Cependant leur gestion est tributaire du degré de civilisation et d'instruction des peuples. Le centre rural de Walungu dit « Walungu Centre » connait une explosion démographique sans précédent depuis une décennie passant de 1064habitants en 2006 à 2000 individus en 2014 sur seulement 4Km2. Ce boom démographique qui attire la curiosité de plus d'une personne est particulièrement lié à un solde migratoire positif(40,6% émigration et 59,4% immigration), conséquence des fuites massives des populations en proie d'insécurité dans les villages périphériques(bandes armés), un taux de natalité elevé(55%0 : Tiers monde) mais aussi attirées par les infrastructures sanitaires(Hôpital General de Walungu, EFSKI), scolaires(cinq écoles secondaires de renom et l'Institut Supérieur Pédagogique de Walungu, ISP/Walungu), administratives(chef-lieu du territoire), coutumier e, sécuritaire(camps de la Mission de l'Organisation de Nations-Unies pour le Maintien de la Sécurité au Congo, MONUSCO ainsi que la présence des Forces Armées de la République Démocratique du Congo, FARDC) et commerciales(marché centrale de Mudwanga). Ce centre qui, aujourd'hui parait comme une cité, connait entre autres problèmes les déchets et leur gestion. En effet, il s'observe dans ce centre des déchets d'origines diverses (ménagers : 85%, écoles, marché, église, hôpital : 12% et du camp de la MONUSCO : 3%) et de différentes natures (organiques : 75% et inorganiques : 25%) Ces derniers sont mal gérés pourtant leur bonne gestion constituerait plus d'avantages que d'inconvénients étant donné leur natures : 75% organiques et d'origine ménagère, pas d'industries qui produiraient des déchets toxiques sauf la MONUSCO.
Bien que la quasi-totalité de ces déchets soit utilisés comme fertilisants (58%), ces derniers entrainent pas mal des problèmes environnementaux et par conséquent socio-sanitaires : pollution de l'air (respiration), des eaux et des nappes (maladies hydriques), du sol (cultures)… auxquels les populations locales assistent impuissamment.
