The correct stabilization of foundation soils constitutes an increasingly important issue in the present Civil Engineering world. Concerns over the environment have taken significant proportions, and there is the awareness today that efforts must be made to diminish the environmental damage caused by the development of infrastructures. Therefore, it has become urgent not only to find building procedures, which will allow this objective to be achieved, but also to accelerate their implementation. This study consists of improving the Engineering properties of Black Cotton soil using recycled glass and plastic. Recycling material from the original site, independently of the simplicity avoids its substitution by better materials, recovered elsewhere; which has severe consequences for the environment. This also eliminates the need for a deposit site of unused material. The main goal of this work is to quantify the benefits achieved with the stabilization of a black cotton soil, with respect to its Engineering properties.
