The study confirmed the impact of uncontrolled dumping waste sites on some
chemical properties of soil, particularly in the surface layers. It manifests itself as: the change in
pH within the landfill as compared to adjacent areas, increase of conductivity indicated on the
higher salinity of soil, increase of organic matter content resulting from the deposit of organic
waste, increased content of C and N and the extension of C:N ratio, which indicates on reduced
ability of microorganisms to the processing of organic matter and increase in soil additives in the
form of glass, metals, plastics, which can contribute to degradation of soils. The wastes stored
at the surveyed illegal dumping sites within the area of municipality Kobylanka not significantly
affected the heavy metal contamination of soils. The most of soil samples shall be eligible for
the soils with the natural category of Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb and Zn content. Only a few samples of
soil were classified to category with increased content of Zn, Cu, Pb and the average of Ni and Cr.
