Lifestyle of unconcern people created various environmental problems. Solid waste management is one of them. To take into consideration the probable effect of leachate formed due to unscientific land filling at the solid waste dumping site on the quality of ground water, leachate analysis is necessary. As there was no facility for leachate collection and treatment, leachate was prepared in laboratory from the solid waste sample collected from Sukali dumping site, Amravati city. Physico-chemical analysis of leachate showed the higher values than permissible limit indicating the contamination of groundwater due to leaching of mineral ingredients and heavy metals. Heavy metal analysis of leachate showed the presence of Mn, Fe, Pb, Co, and Cu above the permissible limit.
