| dc.description.abstract | All types of waste and open disposal of waste can cause environmental degradation by introducing different toxicants including heavy metals. There is lack of comprehensive and detailed studies about the concentration of chemical properties of soil around solid waste disposal sites. This study was conducted in Bahir Dar city administration sebatamit waste dumping site. The objective of the study was to investigate the impact of municipal solid waste dumping on selected soil chemical property and to assess the perception of communities on solid waste dumping. A total of 24 (4*2*3 replications) soil sample was collected by using circular methods from the depth of 0cm-25cm and 25-35cm including control site to analyze pH, Soil Organic Carbon, Total Nitrogen, Available Phosphorus, Iron, Zinc, and Copper. A total of 397 respondents were administered for the socioeconomic data sources. The data obtained from laboratory and field measurements were analyzed by using statistical package for social science (SPSS) version 20 software. The findings of the study revealed that the concentration of chemical property of soil was higher in dumpsite than the control site. The main types of municipal sold waste in Bahir Dar town are paper, glass, plastic, ash, fruit residual and bone and the physical composition of MSW in the town is composed of both biodegradable and non-degradable components, the current implementation rule and regulation related to municipal solid waste management practice of town are weak and also the improper municipal solid waste management poses a potential risk to Environment, Animal health, and human health. The present dumpsite is treated accordingly to minimize the impact of persistent heavy metals in the area or City administration should find a proper landfill site by taking all environmental, social, economic, and political considerations.
