PURPOSE: For countries in which the stone industry is well developed, opposition to quarry and plant waste is gradually increasing. The primary step for waste control and environmental management is to define the problem of concern. In this study, natural building stone wastes were classified for the first time in the literature. METHODS: Following on-site physical observations and research at more than 50 quarries and 20 plants, stone wastes were classified as (1) solid, (2) dust and (3) semi-slurry, slurry and cake. CONCLUSIONS: As a result of this study, the characteristics of wastes, their main environmental threats and the industries in which wastes could be used were defined for each group.
