Recycling applications and research on this subject are increasing and gaining importance due to their enormous potential in solving many environmental problems. This study, which was conducted to determine the attitudes of special education teacher candidates towards the environment and to determine whether these attitudes are different according to gender, age and class variables, is a Descriptive Single Survey Model. The study group of the research consists of a total of 120 special education teacher candidates (90 girls, 30 boys) studying at a state university in Turkey. According to the results of the research, when the mean attitudes of the pre-service teachers towards the recycling are evaluated according to their grade levels, it is seen that the attitude scores of the pre-service teachers studying in the 3rd and 4th grades are slightly higher than the averages of the candidates studying in the 1st and 2nd grades. However, when the scores of attitudes towards the recycling are evaluated according to the age variable, it is seen that the scores of attitudes towards the recycling increase as the age of the teacher candidates increases.
