Residents' low behavioral willingness to dispose of waste in Centralized Collection Points (CCPs) seriously hinders the operational efficiency in waste collection of CCPs regarded as NIMBY ('not in my backyard') facilities. However, fewer researchers notice NIMBY facilities with low hazards. It has been ignored that the NIMBYism may influence behavioral willingness during the operation period persistently. Meanwhile, there is no consistent conclusions on internal factors of waste behavioral willingness, which deserves further study. Therefore, this study took CCPs as a research object and aimed to investigate how NIMBYism influences residents' behavioral willingness to dispose of waste in CCPs. The extended theory of planned behavior and structural equation modeling approach involving 550 respondents were adopted to conduct the analysis. The results revealed that attitude (β = 0.295, < 0.001), government trust (β = 0.479, < 0.001), and perceived behavioral control (β = 0.222, < 0.001) have statistical positive impacts on behavioral willingness to dispose of waste in CCPs. Perceived risk (β = ‒0.047, = 0.022 < 0.05) can influence behavioral willingness negatively. Additionally, government trust (β = 0.726, < 0.001) exerts a positive impact on attitude. Furthermore, relevant strategies were proposed to enhance residents' behavioral willingness to dispose of waste in CCPs. This study is expected to inspire the government to formulate policies from the aspects of standards and regulations, resident participation, construction, and publicity. It will provide the government instructive suggestions for the smooth operation of CCPs, and ultimately building a healthy and environment friendly society.
居民对集中收集点（CCP）处理废物的低行为意愿严重阻碍了作为邻避设施（NIMBY）的 CCP 收集废物的运营效率。然而，很少有研究人员注意到低危害的 NIMBY 设施。人们忽视了邻避主义可能会在运营期间持续影响行为意愿。同时，对于废物行为意愿的内部因素也没有一致的结论，这值得进一步研究。因此，本研究以 CCP 为研究对象，旨在探讨邻避主义如何影响居民在 CCP 中处理废物的行为意愿。采用扩展的计划行为理论和结构方程模型方法，对 550 名受访者进行了分析。结果表明，态度（β=0.295，<0.001）、政府信任（β=0.479，<0.001）和感知行为控制（β=0.222，<0.001）对在 CCP 中处理废物的行为意愿具有统计学上的正向影响。感知风险（β=−0.047，=0.022<0.05）会产生负面影响。此外，政府信任（β=0.726，<0.001）对态度产生积极影响。此外，还提出了相关策略来增强居民对在 CCP 中处理废物的行为意愿。本研究有望激励政府从标准和法规、居民参与、建设和宣传等方面制定政策。它将为 CCP 的顺利运行提供政府有益的建议，最终建设一个健康环保的社会。
