Recycling of construction material helps to conserve the limited landfill spaces and increase the gained cost. Among various types of materials timber and concrete & masonry waste were the most generated waste at construction sites. The recycling practices at construction sites reduces the generation of C&D waste and increase the gained cost. Therefore, this paper aimed to investigate the total recycled C&D waste and gained amount between two different construction sites. The data was collected over 6 months period using direct and indirect measurement. The paper revealed that the gained cost for Site I is RM 29,880.90 while for site II is RM 38,217.80. The CBA revealed that it was positive for these projects with benefits of RM 360.90 and RM 927.80 respectively. This paper provides an awareness for contractors regarding costings that can be gained if the C&D waste was adequately managed. Thus, it directly benefits the construction industry in terms of economic sustainability for a construction project
