The problem of the optimal waste management of industrial and household waste is extremely important due to large amount of accumulated and annually produced waste. One of the crucial aims to improve ecological quality and environmental safety and compliance is to improve efficiency of waste management. The vast majority of solid domestic waste landfills are used up, but design, construction and place new territories into operation for receiving and waste disposal will take 3-5 years. In this work, issues of definition of the residual capacity of landfill are considered, aiming to expand the capacity and usage period, based on the solid landfill body density index research. Study object is solid household waste landfills in Rostov region, study subject is anthropogenic filling layers of the landfill. In order to support business objectives, there was conducted engineering and geological research, wells were drilled, laboratory studies were undertaken and soil tests were analyzed. Experimental results show the possibility to continue waste disposal works in the current landfill by means of increase of waste density index and free geometric scope.
