In recent years, the main framework of the curriculum developed by the Ministry of Education is the concepts, skills, attitudes and values. However, the content of the programs shows that the activities and attainments related to values education take place in different programs in different dimensions and qualities. On the other hand, values education is important in the development of the educational process along with feelings, attitudes and behaviors. Textbooks and in-class activities to be embodied in values education is the degree allowed by the curriculum of the course. The aim of this study is to determine how the concept of recycling, which has recently gained considerable importance in terms of sustainability of our planet, is included as a value in the Science and Technology, Life Sciences and Social Sciences course curriculum (2017) of the Ministry of National Education. The research was carried out with a document review of qualitative research methods and descriptive content analysis and data were collected for the related curriculums. According to the results, most of the attainments in the above mentioned primary and secondary education programs are not intended to recycle as a value. Therefore, it is recommended that adequate and practical acquisitions should be included in the content of the programs when the acquisition size is taken into consideration. Furthermore, it is suggested that the return to primary and secondary schools should be included as a separate value in the recycling rates of our country, given the level of its presence in accordance with the European countries
