The construction of infrastructure on the ground that the carrying capacity is low resulting in a huge drop and lateral movement. Various methods have been developed to overcome these problems, particularly with the method of waste utilization. Therefore, the authors wanted to determine the effect of the use of woven plastic bottle waste on soil with low bearing capacity using experimental research methods. Testing is done by looking at the deformation that occurs in the soft ground without reinforcement and by reinforcement using woven plastic bottles tier 1 and tier 2. From the test results on the ground deformation that is not given retrofitting a load of 4 kN is 45,5mm, whereas by strengthening the use of woven plastic bottles tier 1 and tier 2 with the same load of 4 kN is 41,60mm and 38,20mm, so it can be concluded that the ground by reinforcement ply weaved plastic bottle 1 has increased by 9.38% strength and for woven layer 2 by 19.11% against the vertical deformation that occurs. Judging from the patterns of deformation modeling results is included in the pattern of local shear failure.
