Recycled concrete aggregates have been widely studied and used in concrete products nowadays. However, other recycled wastes, such as glass, have not been involved too much in recycled aggregate concrete studies. This paper aims to study the impact of the content variation of the different recycled wastes to the properties of the concrete paving block. In this paper, not only recycled coarse concrete aggregates, crushed glass are also used as the recycled aggregate in the concrete paving block in different replacement levels. According to test the properties of blocks mixed with different recycled wastes, the experimental results indicate that: (1) adding recycled concrete coarse aggregate (RCCA) in the blocks can decrease the blocks’ strength, and increase the water absorption. The suggested replacement levels for RCCA is 60%; (2) mixing crushed glass (CG) in the concrete paving blocks as a type of coarse aggregates can obviously improve the blocks’ strength and decrease the blocks’ water absorption.
