The study targeted the establishment of optimal conditions for biological treatment of leachate from Glina landfill waste. A change in the composition of leachate was analysed in correlation with temperature, precipitation and biodegradable aterial to highlight the work of microorganisms in various environmental conditions. The experimental results have shown that the highest efficiency has been registered over the temperature range of 10 – 25oC, while microbiological activity was not observed in the aeration lagoon at negative air temperature. The higher content in biodegradable waste (obtained by separating plastics, paper, metal and glass) had a positive influence on biological purge expressed by decreasing the nitrates, nitrites, ammonia content and biological oxygen demand between 12% and 28%.
