Abstract: It is known that consumption and wastes increase in parallel with the increasing population, rapid urbanization, and industrialization. For this reason, the determination of solid waste landfills has become very significant. The geological characteristics of the region, which are included in the location criteria, have a significant impact. In this study, some of the geological and geotechnical parameters in Konya and the results from other studies were compared. A clay unit with low plasticity was observed and its properties were evaluated after the drilling results.
