Abstract: Through research on the current situation of the collection of domestic waste treatment fees in Qingdao city, the problems existing in the charging work were analyzed, such as low collection rates, outdated charging methods, significant collection resistance, and high operational costs. By comparing the commonly used charging methods and models at home and abroad, it was revealed that the “water consumption coefficient method” demonstrated distinct advantages in preventing payment defaults and underpayment， while it could ensure the fairness and standardization during the charging process. Based on these findings, it is suggested that Qingdao adopts the “water consumption coefficient method” as its primary approach, and adopts a “zoned dynamic hybrid charging model” that entrusting the water supply company to collect the waste treatment fee on its behalf. Meanwhile,to enhance collection efficiency, complementary measures has been recommended such as increasing publicity, improving the charging system, encouraging social supervision and strengthening law enforcement. Furthermore, with the aim of providing references for related work, the future development of domestic waste charging management has been prospected from three aspects: refining waste charging policies, implementing smart management systems, and exploring rural waste charging mechanisms.
