Improper waste management systems often cause the pollution of air, land and water, and contribute to resource consumption. Other than using natural resources more wisely, it is very important to improve waste management systems in order to improve the cleanliness, and environmental health. Reducing waste methods are getting increasingly important. Most of the construction waste in our country are not recycled but end up in dumping and landfill which can cause serious environmental impacts and the need to build more landfills in the future. This research was carried out to identify type of construction material, effective method for construction waste recycling and the improvement in the method of minimizing construction waste in construction industry. From the research, the construction materials are common concrete, cement, pile, brick and so on. The recycling method that effective in minimize construction waste are sources separation. Besides that, the way to improve on recycling method are avoid double handling and use larger bins, predict activity based-waste quantities and others.
