Research results indicate that X District in L City has initially formed a waste sorting governance model characterized by government leadership, business operations, and public participation, but there still exist shortcomings, such as inadequate waste sorting supervision and untimely maintenance of waste collection facilities, which require greater collaboration among all governance entities: Government should further ensure the implementability of policies and improve the professional competence of relevant personnel, proposing incentive mechanisms for enterprises and community entities.
