With the rapid growth of economic activities along with the industries and population growth, it is to have the lives of road longer and requires less due to the commonly arisen problems of fatigue. It is desirable, expansion, and contraction due to temperature change and swelling of pavements due to access rainwater. In this present investigation I tried to use the plastic wastes in the surrounding environment. The marshal mix consists of bitumen blend along with the LDPE (Low density poly-ethylene) manufactured by dry process. The comparison had been made by controlling the bitumen and LDPE percentage in the marshal mix, various testing sample had been prepared. The laboratory test was performed in order to find the mix design characteristics on the various sample. The entire investigation is categories in the following three procedures. 1. Test had been performed to find Marshal and other physical properties on the sample consist of ordinary bitumen mix. i.e. DBM with varying percentage of 4.5 to 6% of the total weight. 2. In second stage of investigation the bitumen percent were kept constant that is 5.5 % of the overall weight of the mix and the LDPE percent were varying 2%, 4%, 6% and 8% of the weight of bitumen in order to find the the appropriate percentage of LDPE in the the Marshall mix design. 3. In the final stage of investigation the test sample had been prepared consists of constant percentage of LDPE (6%) and varying percentage of bitumen 4.5%, 5%, 5.5% & 6%. After various tests perform on laboratory on the Marshall mix sample, the result obtained had been compared with one another in order to get the optimum percentage of LDPE and bitumen blend.
