Business ID : What to do with ALL that sand?

When I leave my house every day, morning and evening, I ask myself this question!

In the dry season, in every corner of the city, red sand EVERYWHERE!
The sidewalks are covered with it, as well as all the small streets of the unpaved neighborhoods.
In Old school mode, I imagine it is possible to use this sand for construction. But the reddish color indicates the presence of iron (copper or manganese sometimes), is it really good for construction?
So I want to talk to the inventive entrepreneurs lurking among the community:
- WikiHow says you could get green glass from it (Because of the iron)
- I think it can also be used in the construction of ecological paving stones which I talk about in another Business ID.
- Simply resell it to whoever you want?
In short, all this sand in nature must be able to be used for something?!
The first step is to collect it.
We will avoid enslaving (yes that's how we say) the staff by simply giving them shovel and wheelbarrow. It is therefore necessary to invest in an industrial vacuum cleaner or even better, a sweeping cart as we see in the road service.
