The construction and demolition waste constitutes of a major percentage of the waste generated in cities and is an environmental threat also. Thorough literature study was conducted to identify the waste components in construction industry and it was identified that concrete and brick waste are found majorly in construction and demolition waste. This study has been undertaken to investigate the scope of reusing the concrete and brick waste in pavers. The waste material was collected from construction sites and converted to reusable form. Concrete is used as aggregate confirming to sieve analysis of 20mm size and brick waste was employed in the powder form as cement replacement. Experimental tests were conducted and it was found that the combination of replacement of 5% brick waste as fine aggregate and 10% concrete waste as coarse aggregate, achieved maximum strength of 27 N/mm2 at 28th day. The results concluded from the cost analysis verify that the replacement (of cement and aggregate) in the paver block reduce the cost of paver by Rs.2507 per 100 meter run.
