Urban　household　solid　waste　recycling　and　management　are　complex　adaptive　systems　with　multiple　agents,　stages,　and　elements.　Previous　studies　neglected　the　impact　of　municipal　residents＇　behavioral　decisions　on　recycling　sectors.　In　this　study,　the　degree　of　regret-joy　and　personality　characteristics　were　introduced　into　a　multi-agent-based　model　to　simulate　the　action　decision-making　of　agents　under　different　strategies.　The　results　demonstrate　that,　without　the　government＇s　role,　nearly　60%　of　municipal　residents　preferred　the　informal　recycling　sector　(IFRS).　Meanwhile,　the　formal　recycling　sectors　(FRS)　find　it　difficult　to　attract　urban　residents　because　of　their　low　income　levels.　Regarding　a　single　policy,　the　subsidy　policy　is　more　beneficial　than　the　regulation　policy　for　increasing　the　income　of　the　FRS　from　20　to　250　Yuan.　However,　neither　of　the　two　single　policies　can　weaken　the　market　competitiveness　of　the　IFRS.　Moreover,　a　comprehensive　policy　combining　both　subsidies　and　regulations　has　enabled　more　than　60%　of　urban　residents　to　choose　the　FRS,　thereby　increasing　its　profit　and　market　share　to　270　yuan　and　500　kg,　respectively.　These　results　provide　policy　suggestions　for　optimizing　the　waste　recycling　management　systems.
