Though it has been discussed and debated for over decades, these continuous acts are becoming more harmful to human beings as well as the environment. As the seriousness of the matter started to capture world's attention, solution such as recycling has been put forward. Imperative as it is, the responsibility falls on human attitudes to apply recycling in daily life. Among the matter discussed is paper usage which is indisputably very prominent in human life particularly teenagers. With 408 teenagers as respondents, the objectives of this paper are to identify the perceptions' of teenagers in reusing as well as recycling papers in their life. The findings indicate that even though they were aware with the need of reusing and recycling, they did not practise it in life.
