The generation and disposal of the garbage is one of the main problems of the State of São Paulo, Brazil, causing a series of environmental impacts and risk for the human health. The main goal of this research was carry out a diagnosis of the water and soil quality in the area of arrangement of the garbage at the county of Engenheiro Coelho, in the state of São Paulo. The methodology was comprised of visits and photographic survey of the site, chemical analysis of soil (pH, P, S, K, Ca, Mg, Al, B, Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn) and microbiological analysis of water (heterotrophic plate count, total and fecal coliform bacteria), in the month of May of 2007 and of 2008. The photographic survey showed that the area is characterized like a dump, the chemical analyses showed that soil is degraded, in what refers to his fertility, and the microbiological analyses indicated an absence of fecal coliform, however a potential water pollution exists by total coliform, which reached 4.6 x 104 NMP 100 mL-1, and by the heterotrophic plate count (9.00 x 102 NMP 100 mL-1)
