This research examines how well brick dust powder improves soil quality. Brick dust powder, from construction waste, provides a sustainable option for improving soil qualities. To test key soil properties like compaction, shear strength, and permeability by combining BDP with natural soil in varying amounts. BDP enhances soil's firmness by decreasing plasticity and increasing shear resistance, thus improving suitability for both construction and farming purposes. This method helps manage waste effectively and promotes sustainability through improved soil health with affordable, environmentally friendly resources. Tests were carried out in two stages. In the initial stage, the characteristics of clean earth were identified. In the second stage, several tests were conducted on the soil with differing amounts of BDP. The percentage of BDP varies from 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% up to 45%.
