Environmentalism has begun to catch up with consumerism in people's mentality as large cities complete the final stage of industrialization and urbanization. Household waste management, such as sorting and recycling, is considered to be the ultimate solution for waste reduction, efficient treatment, and resource recovery. Built on Weaver's (2009) Theory of Target Compliance and the concept of the informal institutions in New Institutional Economics (NIE), this dissertation aims to explain the counterintuitive prevalence of non-compliance with household recycling programs in relatively affluent post-industrialized societies where people have high environmental awareness. This study compared the situations in Singapore and Shanghai, two cities that adopt voluntary recycling schemes. A mix-method approach employing quantitative and qualitative methods was selected to provide validated interpretation through triangulation. Different types of household recycling discourses have been identified through Q Methodology, and the effects of critical institutional variables have been analyzed through multivariate regressions using primary data derived from surveys.This study finds that informal institution, including personal and social norms, as well as the modifications of formal rules, have different magnitudes of influence on the recycling behavior of apartment dwellers. Attitude towards waste, as well as legal and descriptive neighborhood norms, are among the most important informal institutional variables. At the same time, people's recycling performance does not seem to be distinguished by the demographics as some studies suggest. Lastly, despite the existence of multiple discourses in both contexts and the fragmentation of views, most people exhibit high support for sanction measures and unit-based pricing of waste. The opposition only comes from the expected high transaction cost associated with implementation, rather than questioning its legitimacy. The results indicate that even for culturally similar settings with similar recycling schemes, people's perceptions of recycling could be different due to various institutional constraints. Based on the findings, this dissertation suggests different future policy mixes that address the four types of compliant behaviors for the two cities.
