Abstract: The proliferation of household and similar wastes in Algerian cities is a serious problem with regard to effects they cause on environment and health. They are usually wrapped in plastic bags and simply deposited on the level of public spaces. Streets, alleys, squares and sidewalks are not spared. Public space is then attacked by all sorts of rubbish polluting the built and the entire environment. Household and similar wastes don’t rise (for this moment!) enthusiasm of people nor local authorities despite of considerable efforts of the State. The problem thus lies in their management which remains insufficient. This article attempts to show that the management of household and similar wastes remains difficult for a city that has not consolidated a waste policy. The various stages of waste's life as well as of chain collection, storage, sorting, recycling, treatment and valorization are then a complex management.
