Storage of various products obtained from wastes or leaving these to the nature lead to many difficulties and huge problems such as environmental pollution. Today, some studies are carried out on the recycling of wastes and by-products gained during the manufactory of various products. Wastes can be used to obtain new products or as an additional substance on the existing products. Both recycle of wastes and by-products prevents damage to the environment and reduces the occurrence of related problems to a minimum level by mitigating the usage of very scarcely found natural substances. Thus, it is important that industrial wastes be gained to state economy through being recycled for various uses. In recent years, studies on removal of wastes by recycling on highway layers have been extended. The aim of this study is to introduce the technical advantages of plastic materials known only as a simple waste material and to convert the environmental, economic and technical disadvantages of these materials as waste as an asphalt coating material. In the study, the samples were prepared by mixing bitumen with bituminous waste plastic heat treatment method and prepared samples were subjected to Marshall Strength and Indirect Tensile Strength tests and the results were interpreted.
