Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine relationships between Korean-Americans’ willingness to participate in the Los Angeles City’s curbside recycling program and family members’ demographic variables, recycling by their friends and neighbors, the community’s volunteer group activities, and advertising in the media. The statistical techniques used were Point-biserial Correlation and Stepwise Multiple Regression Analysis. Some important findings are as follows: if the City of Los Angeles wants to motivate Korean-Americans’ willingness to participate regarding the recycling program, the following factors have to be considered: (1) community’s volunteer activities; (2) recycling by their friends and neighbors; (3) type of dwelling; (4) Korean television, radio, and newspapers; (5) English television, radio, and newspapers; and (6) income.
