The question of management of household waste in Kinshasa attracts more and more attention to everything one last time. Many other researchers have already analyzed it widely and enough and some of their recommendations still deserve further scrutiny.
Indicators of the effectiveness of policy interventions in relation to the rationality of the management of the environment are measured by the absence of the psychological shocks as a result of the build-up of waste in unaccustomed places of the city. This image prompts signals of alarm or stimulations that are the basis for events, such as irritability, anxiety, depression (...) and disorders in the functioning of the organs. The removal of all causes of shocks and the implementation of safety policy able to organize the operation of household waste pre-collection in priority is one of the solutions of resilience to shocks. The context of resilience is seen as well, and not only have the ability to absorb disruptions but also to reorganize the structures so as to keep and not lose its essential functions.
A good household waste management policy has the following objectives: the preservation of the health of citizens, the protection of the environment. The key is that the Government is able to improve the living conditions of the population through support total or partial of the social problems which keep people in misfortune. There are also options to make changes at all levels: ethics, attitudes, behavior and mentality.
