The　effectiveness　of　the　waste　sorting　policy　in　Beijing　was　evaluated　through　literature　review，questionnaire　surveys，and　cost　analysis.　The　collection　and　treatment　situations　of　domestic　waste　in　Beijing　before　and　after　the　implementation　of　the　waste　sorting　policy　was　compared，and　the　current　state　and　existed　issues　of　waste　management　in　Beijing　were　analyzed.　The　results　showed　that，on　the　one　hand，the　implementation　of　the　waste　sorting　policy　had　promoted　waste　reduction　and　resource　utilization，and　improved　residents’environmental　awareness.　On　the　other　hand，although　the　existed　domestic　waste　treatment　facilities　could　match　the　current　disposal　situation，with　the　progress　of　waste　sorting　work　and　the　construction　of　new　waste　treatment　facilities，incineration　companies　may　face　the　situation　of“not　having　enough　waste　to　burn”.　Therefore，it　was　necessary　to　balance　the　advantages　and　disadvantages　of　waste　sorting　and　facility　construction，further　optimize　the　layout　and　make　reasonable　plans.　Based　on　this，fully　considered　the　opportunities　and　challenges　faced　by　the　implementation　of　waste　sorting　policies　in　Beijing，countermeasures　and　suggestions　were　proposed　for　promoting　waste　sorting　in　Beijing　from　multiple　aspects，such　as　improving　the　quality　of　classification，adjusting　facility　construction，innovating　sorting　modes，and　establishing　coordination　mechanisms，in　order　to　provide　theoretical　and　practical　basis　for　urban　domestic　waste　management　planning　and　policy　making.　©　2023　Environmental　Sanitation　Engineering.　All　rights　reserved.
