Abstract
A Likert-type scale was developed and used to measure attitudes toward recycling among 452 male and female undergraduates. The instrument had high part-whole correlations and satisfactory reliability. There was a predictable relationship between attitudes toward recycling and attitudes toward environmental issues, rights issues, and political participation.Keywords
