A novel method for disposing of drill cuttings and more particularly to the process for source identification of such cuttings and the identification of value added processes for commercializing the cuttings in an economical manner. The method of recycling of oil and gas well drill cuttings as disclosed herein begins by identifying drill cuttings by location, type of earth formation and earth strata level from whence extracted, drying, coding and containerizing said cuttings by said grade, mineral type, extraction location, and geological age. Uses for the recycled and graded drill cuttings include graded virgin aggregate for road construction including asphaltic cement, recyclable stone retaining walls and lawn ornaments or other applications useful in landscaping or water drainage control by mixing the dried and refined cuttings with recycled polymer.
