Abstract: The study purpose to know the soil chemical condition nearest tannery dumping area in Bangladesh. The existing management system of tannery solid wastes and its consequences were investigated through field survey with structured and unstructured questionnaire; the tannery workers, technologists, officials were interviewed during 2009-2011. The maximum amount of solid wastes generated was measured in the peak season (October-December) in the year 2011 through developed formula and found 443 metric ton solid wastes were generated in a day from tannery at Hazaribagh, Dhaka. It is observed that soil pH level very place to place. It was found that solid wastes impact soil organic matter directly. Chloride is one of the important indicators of soil pollution. Common salt adds to salinity of water. The salts concentration level in soil more than 1.35% is harmful to the plant life. Tannery solid wastes are mainly protein based wastes which are the polymers of amino acids, fatty acids etc.
