Since bitumen is the vital component in all over the world for making flexible pavements. It is having asphalt or bitumen with mineral aggregates and are mixed together, layed in adjacent layers and finally compacted dense. If the bituminous pavement is designed and paved in ideal conditions, it proves satisfactory but we can never meet such ideal conditions on site as the circumstances vary from region to region and time to time. Thus these unfavorable conditions make these pavements poor in performance. Also due to continuous increase in traffic, modern pavement needs to be enough durable under load and traffic volume. Researchers have from time to time tried their hand in reducing these flaws in bitumen paved roads. Some of the ways proved beneficial. One such effort includes adding waste polymeric units to bitumen under well designed procedure. Now plastics is another severe threat to the environment. It can degrade environment quality. Because this thing is non-biodegradable it damages soil properties, adds many unwanted gasses to air if burnt in open air. Incorporating this waste polymeric unit in bitumen can benefit us in both ways by reducing pollutant in environment and also adding to properties of asphalt under drastic conditions. In this research we have used low density polythene(LDPE) in form of packets used in packing of various brands of milk. In dry form with aggregate. In this research detailed study is carried to check engineering properties of bituminous concrete. optimum binder content and optimum polythene content is derived using Marshall procedure. The OPC has been found 4%. At this percentage marshal stability value is maximum and marshal flow value is minimum.
