In the background of growing rural domestic waste pollution, encouraging the source classification of rural domestic waste is a critical way to address the inadequacies of rural environmental problems. Using the micro-survey data of rural residents in Shaanxi province, China, this paper explores the decision-making behavior (classification willingness and degree of classification) of rural residents’ domestic waste through a double-hurdle model (DHM). The results show that among the 1374 rural residents, 1274 samples are willing to be sorted and put into place. Of these, 45.21% of the rural residents are eager to classify household waste into four categories, namely recycling or saleable, food waste or perishable, toxic and harmful, and others. Besides, household income has a significantly negative impact on the domestic waste classification willingness of rural residents while the number of education years positively impacts the degree of rural domestic waste classification. It is an indication that the sense of environmental responsibility significantly and positively influences the decision-making behaviors of rural residents, not only promoting their willingness to classification but also increasing their degree of classification; the psychological perception of rural residents about the pollution of domestic waste significantly increases their willingness and degree of classification. Policy implications are further discussed.

在农村生活垃圾污染日益严重的背景下，鼓励农村生活垃圾源头分类是解决农村环境问题的重要途径。利用陕西省农村居民微观调查数据，通过双栏模型（DHM）探索农村居民生活垃圾的决策行为（分类意愿和分类程度）。结果表明，在1374名农村居民中，有1274个样本愿意进行分类投放。其中，45.21%的农村居民热衷于将生活垃圾分类为可回收或可销售、厨余或易腐烂、有毒有害等四类。除了，家庭收入对农村居民生活垃圾分类意愿有显着负向影响，受教育年限对农村生活垃圾分类程度有正向影响。表明环境责任感对农村居民的决策行为产生显着的正向影响，不仅提高了他们的分类意愿，而且提高了他们的分类度；农村居民对生活垃圾污染的心理认知显着提高了分类意愿和分类程度。进一步讨论了政策影响。表明环境责任感对农村居民的决策行为产生显着的正向影响，不仅提高了他们的分类意愿，而且提高了他们的分类度；农村居民对生活垃圾污染的心理认知显着提高了分类意愿和分类程度。进一步讨论了政策影响。表明环境责任感对农村居民的决策行为产生显着的正向影响，不仅提高了他们的分类意愿，而且提高了他们的分类度；农村居民对生活垃圾污染的心理认知显着提高了分类意愿和分类程度。进一步讨论了政策影响。
