in recent years, the rapid development of China's economy has been accompanied by the gradual deterioration of the living environment, which is an inevitable malpractice brought about by extensive development. In the process of accelerating urbanization in China, the scale and population of cities are gradually expanding, but the treatment of municipal solid waste lags behind. The phenomenon of besieging cities with municipal solid waste has become very common. Government departments must consider how to effectively deal with the problem of garbage and ensure the sustainable development of economy and society. This paper analyzes the main experiences of garbage control in five countries, and takes the enforcement of garbage classification by laws promulgated in Shanghai, China as an example, to explore the effective path of garbage control in cities and towns in China, so as to provide a reference for countries with similar situations.
