The data was collected by distributing questionnaire to 40 employees then the questionnaire were analyzed by using Statistical Package in the Social Science Software (SPSS) Version 20. As a result from the survey, majority of the employees generate papers in their daily work life. Most of them get information of recycling through posters. There were issues at ASPA such as there were no recycle bins provided. It can be concluded that, majority of the employees believed that recycling is important and helps the natural resources conservation but they did not take environmental responsibilities seriously as the company also did not take initiative to applied recycling programs at the work. In order to enhance the office environmental, the company should encourage the workers to apply 3R Concept, organize recycling programs that will benefit them as well as company. Most important, the company should provide recycle bins and facilities that will make easier to the workers to practice recycle as it is also can attract them to practice in their daily work. For the future researcher, they should focus both private and government sector to see the differences of data between them. Moreover, they should increase the sample or respondent of data.
