So far, palm oil shells are only used for a small part of the needs, but still leaving a lot of palm kernel shell waste. One of the innovations to overcome the problem of palm oil shell waste is by making this waste as a substitute for sand in making brick making. This research was carried out in 2 stages, namely material testing and testing of specimens which included compressive strength and water absorption. In this study used a variation of the mixture of palm oil shell waste 0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% with a maintenance period of 7 days, 14 days, 28 days and water absorption at 28 days. At the age of 28 days, the greatest compressive strength was obtained in the variation of 0% CKS waste mixture of 81.67 kg / cm² with water absorption of 7.84 % , so that it is included in quality II. While the lowest strong value is found in the variation of 40% CKS waste mixture of 11.67 kg / cm² with water absorption of 14.68 % so that it is not included in the quality level. The optimum value of the use of palm oil shell waste is in the variation of 10% CKS mixture with a value of 51.67 kg / cm² and water absorption 9.46%. Based on the results of the research, the concrete brick with a mixture of palm kernel shell waste can be used as a non-structural wall.} }
