Abstract: As the liability subject of rural household waste classification， farmers’behaviors played a decisive role in rural household waste management. Rural areas around Shijiazhuang were selected as typical example of North China in this study. Based on the survey data of 276 farmers， two statistical analysis methods of binary Logistic model and Spearman correlation coefficient were used to analyze the influence of different factors on farmers’waste classification behaviors， and the correlations between different factors. The results showed that farmers’knowledge of waste classification had a significant positive effect on their behaviors. The propaganda could not only had a significant promotion effect on farmers’classification behavior， but also had a positive moderating effect on other factors. In addition， the further improvement of classification facilities and the reward and punishment system might bring positive changes in the farmers’putting habits. Therefore， the propaganda means of waste classification should be optimized， the convenience of classification facilities should be improved， and the standardization of the reward and punishment system should be strengthened， which could contribute to farmers’understanding of waste classification in a more targeted way and enhance their initiative to implement waste classification.
