Abstract Waste has become a major problem these days. Glass and plastic are found in municipal solid waste (MSW), and are of the most used daily materials. The amount of glass and plastics consumed annually has been growing steadily. Its low density, strength, user- friendly design, fabrication capabilities, long life, lightweight, and low cost are the factors behind such phenomenal growth. As waste plastic and waste glass is non-biodegradable material it blocks drains, pollutes rivers and streams have on the environment. This project focus on partially replacement of waste plastic and waste glass together as coarse aggregate in concrete paver block. To evaluate the effects of including these wastes, mechanical test like compressive strength test is conducted. The aim of the project is to recycle the waste plastic and waste glass into a paver block and to reduce the cost of paver block. This can serve as environmental friendly.
