Abstract: Today, the development of any country is reflected with its industrialization growth. Various processes such as industrial, mining, municipal, agricultural and many more are involved in the generation of large extents of their waste and by-products. The enhancement and advancement in solid waste management is a general trend of today?s development of alternative ways to exploit these wastes into construction materials in addition to traditional materials like tiles, bricks, blocks, concrete, aggregates, ceramics, cement, soil, and paint. Attempts are also being made to utilize these wastes as filler in embankment design, as sub-base and base layers in road construction. Jarosite is a solid waste remain during the hydrometallurgical operations involved in the extraction of zinc from the lead-zinc smelter. It contains heavy metals and toxic elements more than the permissible limits that are preferred for safe disposal. Thus, its disposal remains a universal problem concerning environmental issues. In the past few decades, numerous researchers have explored the possibility to reduce, reuse and recycle (3-R) of jarosite waste to some extent.
