The purpose of this work was to present the conditions and possibilities of phytoremediation of municipal waste landfills. Reclamation of municipal waste landfills states a serious problem in Poland, involving a large number of objects of small area, previously operated as local municipal landfills, and also, successively closed ofquarters on main, regional installations. Biological reclamation is an indispensable part of restoring landfill sites to the environment, however, in the case of this type of objects, it does not always succeed, due to the presence of unfavorable products of waste bioconversion, inproper substrate preparation or incorrect selection of species. The paper summarizes the basic principles of introducing vegetation onto municipal landfill.
