Today, the increase of waste from industry is related to economic growth, which is causing “global warming”.Therefore, reducing waste from industry could result in the reduction of global warming. To manage waste treatments, landfill is one of the most popular methods, despite high costs and the usage of resources are not efficient. Concrete waste is another type of waste in industry; the consumption of ready mixed concrete industry has also risen due to an increase in domestic construction. This is why different methods of waste treatment should have good management with usage of resources to reach maximum efficiency. The most recommendable method is 3R; R1.Reduce,is to reduce consumingofunnecessary resources, R2. Reuse,is to efficiently use resources and R3.Recycle,is to convert waste into reusable material.Accordingto the quality testing on attribute of gradation and dust volume of stoneand sand derived from unused ready mixed concrete, the test result met the standard range and suitable for using as material for concrete production. The design of experimental was conducted to find the optimum proportion of new stone,sand and recycledmaterial. The proportion of percentage of 0, 20, 40and100 has been varied. As the result ofthis experiment, the optimum percentage of recycledstoneand sand should 20-40percent.
