Abstract
Because of the economic evolution and advancement of the construction industry observed by many countries, the critical requirement for utilizing contemporary potentials in it is to construct taller and deeper buildings. On the other hand, the problems that rise with the similar capacity is the generation of millions of tons of construction waste each year. Such generation of construction waste causing many landfilling and environment problems in the world. Through the last few decades, the rapid development of construction industry has been also observed in Iraq. Such rapid development causes huge amount of construction waste also and causing not only landfilling problems but also effects to environment. In this research work, review has been taken to emphasize on construction waste. Almost 51 latest and critical research papers and web blogs has been reviewed. On the basis of reviewed literature in this research work, it is observed that no any standards have been set for disposing off the construction waste at Government level. Also, many non-government companies are working to construct proper lands for disposing off the construction waste. But still, the union of Iraqi Contractors and Engineer League must symposium on construction waste and designed better plans to manage waste and disposing off construction debris.

Highlights
The progression in construction activities in the course of recent decades has brought about a parallel increment in the quantity of generating construction waste
This research work is about reviewing the Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste in Iraq
We; the authors review the latest and most critical research work related to the Iraq about subjected area
Summary
The progression in construction activities in the course of recent decades has brought about a parallel increment in the quantity of generating construction waste. Transportation, materials handling and storage are most important influential exercises in construction waste generation[15,16] These exercises would exhaust time and energy without enhancing the customer, in this manner, causing in construction materials waste, interruption in project finishing time and performance of ineffective operations. All these challenge can aggravate if not addressed appropriately so in this work, the detailed review study on construction waste in Iraq is presented. On the basis of reviewed stuff in this work, some conclusions and suggestions presented but more than that some future studies found which can be beneficial to the beginners in this subjected area
