The use of vegetation to stabilize areas technically destroyed, including mainly fine grain material landfills, is a necessity in order to prevent water and wind erosion. There are many ways of applying vegetation to control erosion of sites where chemically active waste or waste susceptible to water and wind erosion have been dumped. This work presents the author’s results of the study and practical implementation of sewage sludge. The exceptional efficiency of sludge is due to its colloidal consistency and content of humic and fertilizing elements. In the paper the efficiency of sewage sludge was discussed in the reclamation work on dumping sites of: furnace waste – lysimetric and field experiments and technical scale implementation trials; post-soda lime – field experiments and large scale implementation work; post-flotation lime – lysimetric experiment.
