This article deals with the assessment of the degree of soil contamination with solid municipal waste (SMW), solid household waste (SHW), and the waste of sugar production (sugar lime) in the area of grey forest soils of Orlovskaya oblast. The data obtained demonstrate that SMW has a high impact on soil contamination. The analysis of the pollution load factor value for soils shows moderately dangerous contamination category. Across the territory under analysis, the soil pollution exceeds the maximum permissible concentration (MPC). The evaluation of the sugar lime pollution degree and its overall values exceed the background values by 7.3-246 times. The research conducted explicates the impact of various types of waste on the surrounding areas and their contamination with a set of heavy metals.
