This study presents a remote sensing application of using time series Landsat satellite images for monitoring the solid waste disposal site (WDS). We propose a method of detecting high-rise buildings landfills, such as municipal dumps and solid waste, according to a radar image (the height of the ground level). For disposal site detection a variety steps of image processing used (calculation image average level of the earth's surface; filtering thresholds spectral brightness coefficients, the size of the connected components, the nature of reducing the level of height with the distance of the maximum level). The spatial geometric features of waste disposal facilities are analytically expressed by linear and radial characteristics from other objects of the earth surface. As a result, the proposed method demonstrates good accuracy in detection the solid waste disposal site on real satellite images.
