Effective management of biomedical waste is mandatory for healthy human beings and a safe environment. Poor management of biomedical waste is a community health problem. This article reviews the methods of biomedical waste management. The management of biomedical waste is a significant challenge in the south of DR Congo in terms of the implementation of the types of bins, the concentration of bleach used and the method of waste disposal. Staff training and awareness of waste management waste is of great interest to the community and the associated employees.
