Organic waste is one of the major wastes producing substances in the world. Recycling is done on plastics and other materials due to its high cost. The major constituents of concrete are cement and posses’ certain properties that cannot be replaced by any material. Usage of cement leads to environmental pollution, greenhouse effect. Replacement of cement with organic waste will reduce the cost, time and also reduces pollution. This paper focuses on replacement of cement partially with organic waste ash in 5%, 10% and 15% by weight on mechanical properties of concrete. The XRF test is used and the result shows organic waste ash is not a pozzolanic substance. The optimum performance is obtained at 5% replacement of cement by weight.
