This paper unveils a measure of risk management through waste minimization from recycling process of a hazardous waste. Lead-based slag from Exide Battery Nigeria Limited, Ibadan containing heavy metals with the following concentration value on analysis: Pb = 266028ppm, Fe=55871ppm, Sb = 7962 ppm, Cu = 500ppm, Mn=292ppm, and Zn=151ppm was recycled to produce glazed tiles. The slag was finely ground and mixed with clay in varying proportions; kaolin, feldspar, CaCO3, ZnO, Na2SiO4, CaSO4.2H2O, CaO, Chamotte and bentonite were also added in varying quantities before mixing. The mix was casted under pressure and dried. The brisque temperature was around 800oC for 8 hours. The produced tiles had a white to brown colour before firing and ash-green colour after glazing. The tiles showed high abrasion resistance, good compact strength and are of a quality comparable to encaustic tiles.
