Abstract Abstract: The main objective of our research is to characterize the bitumen which has been extracted from selected roads before and after the addition of plastic waste through the determination of engineering properties. Were carried out on three samples from each of the roads in order to obtain extracted bitumen characteristics. The extracted bitumen percentage from the mix was 5-6%, which fell within the specified range (percentage) of 5-8%. The Plastic waste in Municipal Solid Waste is been increasing day by day due to increase in Population, Urbanization, development activities, which is leading to wide spread of land use for the disposal of waste. Thus these wastes are not disposed scientifically there will be a possibility to create ground water pollution and also leads to the loss of fertile soil. Thus our project focuses on using the plastic waste as well as used bitumen rather than to dispose them. Thus we even reduce ground water pollution and also reduce soil degradation. Thus we added plastic waste to the recycled bitumen and the mix obtained so showed better binding property, stability, density and more resistant to water.
Keywords Key words:- plastic, bitumen, binding property, stability, density.
