The impact of buried refuse at Olushosun landfill in Ikeja local Government area of Lagos State on the groundwater quality has been carried out using geophysical methods. The geophysical method involved Vertical Electrical soundings using schlumberger array. Eight geoelectric sections were delineated from the interpretation of data acquired and were used to show the extent of pollution. It was concluded that the bulk of the pollution is concentrated within the central portion of the landfill and the groundwater in the area has been polluted to a depth of about 98 meters.
