Ecological features of the impact of landfills on the environment in the regions where they are located In the article the analysis of environmental problems arising from the placement and operation of solid waste landfills. The most important of them include negative impacts on various environmental components in the area of polygons. The result of this impact is the degradation of the existing ecosystem. Therefore, landfills should be considered as secondary sources of environmental pollution in the urban environment. Conducted detailed analysis of the technological operations of the process of waste disposal and assessment of the environmental impact at each stage. In the result of the analysis revealed that the greatest impact on the environment provides a plot of discharge, where discharged and compacted waste. This requires further investigation to develop appropriate engineering and environmental activities.
