    Purpose: To evaluate the effect of the Hospital Recycling Program conducted for the wastes generated during the practice of nurses on the recycling behavior and waste amounts of the nurses. Material and Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test control group was conducted with 64 nurses. Data were collected by the Nurse Descriptive Characteristics Form, Recycling Scale for Sustainable Hospital, and Unit Waste Registration Form. The Hospital Recycling Program based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour was applied to the intervention group. Results: The Hospital Recycling Program had a positive effect on attitudes/behavior intention, and recycling behavior scores of nurses in the intervention group; the amount of recyclable waste was significantly increased compared to the control group (p<0.05). It was found that perceived behavioral controls of all nurses affected the intention to recycle and the Hospital Recycling Program had a significant effect on the attitudes of the nurses in the intervention group (p<0.05). Conclusion: The Hospital Recycling Program based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour has a positive effect on the recycling behaviors of the nurses and the amount of recyclable waste.
