This research collects relevant data by using “Questionnaire Regarding How New Immigrant Residents and Local Residents React to The Trash Classification and Their Respective Recycling Knowledge and Attitudes”, which analyzes and discusses the impact of each variation towards the recycling knowledge of new immigrant residents and local residents in a statistical method. It includes descriptive statistics analysis, reliability analysis, validity analysis, t-test analysis, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis and so on. These questionnaires are analyzed according to aspects of the recycling knowledge, policy awareness, attitudes, participation degrees and information sources After analyzing the background of the overall participants and the varied results of each recycling aspect, it shows that different genders of the participants have striking distinctions regarding the participation degrees; the participants of different age have obvious distinctions about policy awareness and information sources; participants with different educational backgrounds have significant differences in recycling knowledge and information sources. Participants with different marital status have great difference in the aspects of policy awareness, participation degrees and information sources. Participants of different nationalities receive information from different sources. Participants who have recycling experiences have great distinctions among policy awareness, attitudes, participation degrees, and information sources. However, participants of different jobs or with different seniority in Taiwan show no significant difference in each aspect. After analyzing the backgrounds of the new immigrant residents and the varied results of each recycling aspect, it shows that both the participants of different age and of different educational backgrounds receive information from different sources Participants with different marital status have striking distinctions regarding the policy awareness. Participants of different jobs show different participation degrees. Participants who have recycling experiences have striking distinctions in attitudes, while genders, seniority in Taiwan, nationalities show no considerable distinctions. After analyzing the backgrounds of the local residents questioned and the varied results of each recycling aspect, participants of different age show significant differences in the aspect of policy awareness. Participants of different educational backgrounds receive information from different sources. Participants with different marital statuses have clear differences in the aspects of policy awareness, participation degrees and information sources. Participants who have recycling experiences have striking distinctions in policy awareness, participation degrees. Nevertheless, either genders or jobs show no significant differences in each recycling aspect. As to the correlation, there is a positive correlation among the five aspects in this research. Besides, there is also a positive correlation between each aspect and the overall aspects. Hence, it is concluded that if the new immigrants and local residents questioned has better performances in no matter the recycling knowledge, policy awareness, attitudes, participation degrees, and information sources, they will also have better performances in the other aspects or the overall aspects.
