Abstract: Generation of e- waste is a very serious issue in world. In year 2014 produce near about 650000MT of e-waste in India that includes all waste electronics and electrical equipment( TVs, computers, sound systems, refrigerators etc) .This waste not dispose properly finally they affect environment and human health and also create storage problem. This waste is to be utilizing as coarse aggregate in concrete. It is helpful to avoid pollution and provide replacing material to coarse aggregate. In this paper shows analysis of compressive strength of M20 and M25 grade of concrete by replacing coarse aggregate by adding non metallic e-waste in 0% to20% and it is observed that some percent non metallic e-waste can be use as a coarse aggregate in concrete.

Keywords: Compressive strength, E-waste, Pollution
