In the present thesis, it is tried to utilize ceramic waste in the manufacture of fired clay bricks. The raw materials were characterized. Mixtures were prepared, where the waste was added to the clay in different percentages. The brick specimens for each mixture were molded, dried, and then fired. It is found that the replacement of the Egyptian clay as a raw material in fired clay brick industry by both wall and floor dust wastes by percentages up to 50% fired at 700 C, is recommended for its environmental and economical benefits, in addition to its improvement of brick quality
