Changes in the population's consumption habits have contributed to the increase in the generation of glass waste (VR), especially "long neck" glass bottles. Due to the high cost of reusing these bottles in the manufacturing process, the incorporation of this waste in the most different materials has been studied. Thus, the replacement of natural aggregates in concrete mixes by VR can be a technically and ecologically viable alternative. With this, in order to offer an alternative destination for these "long neck" type bottles, this work incorporated the mixture of dry concrete for blocks in the proportions of 10, 20 and 30% of RV in place of sand and evaluated the compressive strength and water absorption in 7 and 28 days. With the results obtained, it can be stated that the incorporation of VR provided resistance gain with additions of up to 30% of VR. In addition, all concrete blocks with the addition of waste glass had lower water absorption values than the mix without addition.
