One way to overcome the garbage problem in the world is through increased recycling behavior in society. This purpose of this paper is to gain an understanding of the effect inconvenience of recycling and the importance of recycling to the recycling behavior. To obtain these data, the questionnaire about inconvenience of recycling, the perception of the importance of recycling and recycling behaviors was distributed to the student of a college in Purwokerto, Central Java. Data is processed descriptively and quantitatively. After examining its validity and reliability, the data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis. Based on data analysis, it is found that the inconvenience of recycling has negative impact while the importance of recycling has positive impact on recycling behavior, but the impact of its independent variables is not significant on the recycling behavior. Lack of awareness of recycling behaviors that exist in society will lead to increasing of the waste generated. Respondents stated that they themselves and society are those responsible for environmental issues. They understand that recycling will reduce pollution, save natural resources, and save the land to accommodate waste. Respondents also stated that they do not feel any inconvenience in recycling their garbage. Extending the use of plastic bags was more easily done by respondent than reusing used paper and separating organic and an organic waste. Good understanding of the importance of recycling is expected to overcome the inconvenience of recycling so as to encourage people to behave more environmentally friendly.
