The economic development was in a rapid increase recently in Taiwan and also brought about a surge of waste. This led more and more focus to the topics of “Eco-friendly. On 3rd July, 2002, the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA), Executive Yuan, promulgated the Resource Recycling Act. EPA, except announcement and execution of policies, aimed at “Zero Waste” by promoting actively resource recycling. The main research methods, literature review, content analysis, and case study, were applied to a target, the student A in a private vocational school in Taoyun, by observing his practice on resource recycling and waste reduction. Based on the amount of recycling and waste as data source, it was the measures of waste management that caused the influence on the effectiveness and differences of resource recycling and waste reduction. By collecting the management strategies of “Municipal Waste All Sorted and Zero Waste” from a variety of countries and Taiwan, this research offered the schools suggestion of how advanced the facilities of waste sorting and supported the policies of “Zero Waste.” In a word, the amount of recycling at the schools in the whole recycling rate in 2013 was 33.64%, which increased by 4.12% in comparison to that in 2012, 29.52%. Next, the waste cleared in 2012 was 78,073 kilograms; in 2013, 67,930 kilograms. In two years, the amount of waste decreased by 10,143 kilograms, that is, 14.93%. Moreover, the waste collection fee in 2012 was 421,090 NT dollars, but in 2013 it dropped down to 399,046 NT dollars, which means 22,044 NT dollars saved, in other words, 5.23%. Therefore, the effectiveness of how the schools promoted the policies of recycling was acceptable. If the schools kept taking the actions on waste reduction, the achievement would be far notable. Consequently, this research aims to provide the schools with a better plan to facilitate effectual practice and effectiveness of promotion on recycling and waste reduction.
