Fibre-reinforced concrete (FRC) contains fibrous material which upsurges its structural integrity. The use of irregular arrangement of fibres to concrete altogether upgrades its essential characteristics, for instance, influence quality, static flexural strength, elasticity and flexural stiffness. Filaments are further added to cement to control breaking because of plastic shrinkage and to drying shrinkage. This research paper shows and compare the use of electrical waste copper wire fibre and electrical waste glass fibre of various percentages of volume fractions such as 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75%, 1.0%, 1.25%, 1.5%, 1.75%, and 2.0% incorporated in concrete. We investigate and compare the mechanical properties such as compressive strength, splitting flexural strength and tensile strength tests were conducted for ordinary concrete and fibre reinforced concrete for a curing period of 28 days. The test results of electrical waste copper wire fibre reinforced concrete with electrical waste glass fibre reinforced concrete were compared to determine the influence of fibres used
