Abstract— In a well-organized environment, disposal of waste poses a great threat as regards where and how to effectively dispose of the waste material without any harmful effect to society. In recent times, utilization of solid waste materials in soil stabilization has gained eminence as an effective means to manage waste generated from various industries. Soil stabilization is a crucial process in civil engineering aimed at enhancing the physical and mechanical properties of soil. This research investigates the effectiveness of various waste materials in stabilizing soil. The study explores the utilization of industrial by-products such as Wastepaper Sludge, Sawdust Ashes, and Crushed Glass Waste. The findings indicate that these waste materials significantly improve soil strength, reduce permeability, and provide an eco-friendly alternative to traditional soil stabilization methods.

In this paper, a comparative study has been performed to examine the influence of waste materials over the traditional methods on the properties of the soil sample.
