Abstract
The present study consists with the management of the household refuse in three various districts (Mambenga, Ibanga and Air Congo) of the town of Mbandaka of RD Congo.Our investigations were carried out in three hundred (300) households because of 100 households per district. These households were contained in «bunches or pockets» presenting the same characteristics or similarities. Thus, we obtained 6 bunches or pockets of the 50 households each one because of two bunches per district .The results obtained show that: the majority of the households of these districts do not have dustbins.3% only of the households of Mambenga district have the dustbins counter 2% of Ibanga district.In the district, 92,8% of households carry out against the hiding of the refuse 95,98% in Wangata and 93,33% with Bolenge.the major part of our surveyed are adults who are in the age bracket of 19-49 years for the three districts.

Abstract: (french)
La présente étude consiste à la gestion des ordures ménagères dans trois différents quartiers (Mambenga, Ibanga et Air Congo) de la ville de Mbandaka en RD. Congo. Nos enquêtes ont été effectuées dans trois cent (300) ménages en raison de 100 ménages par quartier. Ces ménages ont été regroupés en « grappes ou poches » présentant les mêmes caractéristiques ou similitudes. Ainsi, nous avons obtenu 6 grappes ou poches des 50 ménages chacun en raison de deux grappes par quartier.Les résultats obtenus montrent que:La plupart des ménages de ces quartiers n’ont pas des poubelles. 3% seulement des ménages du quartier Mambenga disposent des poubelles contres 2% du quartier Ibanga.Dans le quartier 92,8% de ménages procèdent à l’enfouissement des ordures contre 95,98% dans Wangata et 93,33% à Bolenge.La majeure partie de nos enquêtés sont des adultes qui se trouvent dans la tranche d’âge de 19-49 ans pour les trois quartiers. Les chefs des ménages dont l’âge est inférieur ou égal à 18 ans ne représentent qu’une faible proportion parmi les enquêtés.Quant à la fonction des enquêtés, la majorité sont des agents et fonctionnaires de l’état, sauf dans la zone de santé de Bolenge ou les paysans représentent 50%.Par rapport au niveau d’études, il se dégage que la majorité des chefs des ménages ont terminé les études secondaires, suivi de ceux qui ont fait les études supérieures et universitaires.De ce fait, l’absence des structures fonctionnelles susceptibles d’assurer la collecte et l’évacuation des ordures ménagères à travers les ménages de la ville de Mbandaka entrainent des décharges sauvages et incontrôlées dans les rues et les quartiers de cette ville.
