Infrastructure is increasing day by day and a developing country are facing shortage of site for post consumer disposal waste and has become very serious problem. While cutting and polishing, the materials like marble dust are piling up at the cutting shops which become a challenge for the solid waste management to dispose the same. The aim of this experimental program was to see the effect of waste marble dust along with the waste glass which is not only hazardous but also striving for the landfills, these materials has the huge potential to be re-used in the constructional activities in the form of building materials which can offset the natural resources at some extent. The study was focused on the utilization of waste marble dust as partial replacement of cement and waste crushed glass as partial replacement of fine aggregates in mortar. The study was carried out in two stages. In first stage, cement mortar was prepared with cement as partial replacement of waste marble dust at the ratio of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% and evaluated the optimum ratio of waste marble dust.
