abstract = {This paper provides an overview on the state of Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) in Lubumbashi, D.R Congo. To meet the recently proposed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), establishment of efficient waste management techniques and strategies geared towards monetizing waste in the framework of sustainable growth is inevitable. Solid waste categorization and collection in conjunction with recycle, reuse and revalue are efficient approaches that can be employed to overcome waste management problems affecting development in the neighborhoods and districts of Lubumbashi. Findings from this work reveal that there are no distinction between waste categories, especially the biodegradable waste fraction of various municipalities (p>0.05) and other types waste examined in the study. However, significant fraction of construction waste was observed within dissimilar municipalities (p},
