Abstract	The impact of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) landfilling on vegetation in terms of nutritional quality is still under investigation. The main objectives of this study are to assess the antinutrients and antioxidants content of the leafy vegetables grown on Dhapa landfilled ground (DLG) and also to compare these nutritional qualities with the same leafy vegetables collected from other than landfilled ground i.e. Normal ground (NG). From the analysis it was observed that both antinutrients and antioxidants content of the leafy vegetables vary significantly (P<0.01) in between places except oxalate and tannin content (P>0.05). Furthermore, Phytate content, Antioxidant contents (Total Phenol, Flavonoid & Ascorbic acid) as well as Total Antioxidant Activity (reflected by FRAP Assay & DPPH Radical Scavenging Assay) of the samples of DLG were found to be significantly higher (P<0.001) than the samples of NG.
Keywords	Dhapa Landfilled Ground, Solid Waste, Leafy Vegetables, Antinutrients, Antioxidants, Total Antioxidant Activity.
