Waste is the most horrible thing to our environment especially a waste from tannery industries. Kombolcha tannery since it is part of these industries it is affecting the people and brings drastic chance to the environment. Since this is the fact those treatment techniques are necessary to the factory like the one mentioned. In this study an aerobic pond is designed for tannery waste. It is possible to make suitable to our environment by treating it as per the type of the waste and degree of toxicity and hazard. This will be practiced only when the industrialists put themselves in to the boundaries of the industrial legislation otherwise good things will not happen unless the bad situation are developed. For the treatment techniques the one which has lower installation cost and lower running cost were used.
Key Words: Anaerobic pond, Tannery waste, Hazard
