The article deals with environmental problems of formation of fine white marble wastes on the territory of Koelga deposit and total mining complex. The inventory analysis of marble wastes was carried out. The calculations to determine the amount of fine marble waste accumulated from the beginning of development of the deposit were included in the inventory analysis of waste. It also includes researches on the mineral, material, grain-size, element compositions of these wastes. The microstructure and x-rayphase analyses of these wastes present in this article. On the basis of the inventory analysis the ecological assessment of fine marble wastes and their impact on the ecology of the territory of complex was carried out and justified theoretically. The article outlines and scientifically substantiates the ways of large-scale utilization in the production of ceramic bricks. The authors believe that recycling of man-made wastes is required and is associated with the depletion of mineral resources available in the bowels of the Earth. The authors also note fast growth of volume of man-made waste and growth of abandoned territories under dumps, as well as a negative impact on the environment.
