Cities in developing countries have been struggling with households and related waste management due to galloping demography, uncontrolled urbanisation, enhanced economic activities, unsuitable environmental governance, low technical and financial capacities, etc. The city of Bujumbura is not an exception. The Government of Burundi developed and made public the National Sanitation Plan, which unfortunately did not improve the household and related waste management service in Bujumbura. This paper attempts to analyse challenges and opportunities of the solid waste sector in Bujumbura through the SWOT scheme and to provide some lasting solutions by favouring a sustainable approach to integrated management of households and related waste based on formal structures through the strengthening and revitalisation of the public-private partnership and informal structure through its recognition and its integration into the solid waste management system.
