In the commune of Masina, as elsewhere in the democratic republic of Congo, the sector of rudology or the systematic study of waste has so far been little or badly known. Thus, technical studies and scientific research must be carried out to better understand this sector and spare the populations from various consequences linked to poor waste management. It is in this logic that is located this study which consists in making an inventory of fixtures on the management of the municipal waste with a view to possible improvement. At the end of the investigations, it appears overall that the solid household waste management system set up in the municipality of Masina is anti-ecological. This is explained by the combination of several variables, in particular: - the absence of a real policy of ecological development of the territory, of good governance and of environmental education/responsibilization of the population; - the ignorance and ecological incompetence of the municipal authorities (77%), the team in charge of waste collection (100%) and the inhabitants of the municipality of Masina (71,4%); - a multifaceted poverty (moral and materiel) and a negligence of the residents which lead them to live in insalubrity; - the use of unsuitable and non-ecological solid waste management methods and techniques (39%). Therefore, it seems urgent that producers of waste and decision-makers question themselves and make amends in order to assume themselves differently as consumer-pays and polluter-pays.

Abstract
In the commune of Masina, as elsewhere in the democratic republic of Congo, the sector of rudology or the systematic study of waste has so far been little or badly known. Thus, technical studies and scientific research must be carried out to better understand this sector and spare the populations from various consequences linked to poor waste management. It is in this logic that is located this study which consists in making an inventory of fixtures on the management of the municipal waste with a view to possible improvement. At the end of the investigations, it appears overall that the solid household waste management system set up in the municipality of Masina is anti-ecological. This is explained by the combination of several variables, in particular: - the absence of a real policy of ecological development of the territory, of good governance and of environmental education/responsibilization of the population; - the ignorance and ecological incompetence of the municipal authorities (77%), the team in charge of waste collection (100%) and the inhabitants of the municipality of Masina (71,4%); - a multifaceted poverty (moral and materiel) and a negligence of the residents which lead them to live in insalubrity; - the use of unsuitable and non-ecological solid waste management methods and techniques (39%). Therefore, it seems urgent that producers of waste and decision-makers question themselves and make amends in order to assume themselves differently as consumer-pays and polluter-pays.

Abstract: (french)
Dans la commune de Masina, comme ailleurs en République démocratique du Congo, le secteur de la rudologie ou de l’étude systémique des déchets est jusqu’ici peu ou mal connu. Ainsi, des études techniques et des recherches scientifiques doivent être effectuées pour mieux connaître ce secteur et épargner les populations de diverses conséquences liées à une mauvaise gestion des déchets. C’est dans cette logique que se situe cette étude qui consiste à faire un état des lieux sur la gestion des déchets municipaux en vue d’amélioration éventuelle. Au terme des investigations, il ressort globalement que le système de gestion de déchets ménagers solides mis en place dans la commune de Masina est anti-écologique; cela s’explique par la combinaison de plusieurs variables, notamment: - l’absence d’une véritable politique d’aménagement écologique du territoire, d’une bonne gouvernance et d’une éducation relative à l’environnement, de sensibilisation/responsabilisation de la population; - l’ignorance et l’incompétence écologique des autorités municipales de Masina (77%), de l’équipe chargée de la collecte (100%) et des habitants de Masina (71,4%); - une pauvreté multiforme (morale, humaine et matérielle), et une négligence des résidents qui les amènent à polluer le milieu et d’y vivre dans l’insalubrité; - un recours à des modes et techniques de gestion de déchets ménagers solides non écologique (39%). Dès lors, il apparait urgent que les producteurs des déchets et les décideurs se remettent en question et s’amendent en vue de s’assumer autrement en tant que consommateur-payeur et pollueur-payeur.
