This study evaluates the carbon mitigation potential of municipal solid waste (MSW) management strategies in Chengdu by integrating multi-scenario simulations with a refined classification-based accounting framework. The existing system faces compounded challenges, including inadequate source separation, limited source reduction, low resource recovery rates, and a high-emission treatment structure dominated by landfilling and energy-intensive technologies. The results demonstrate that different strategies prevail at distinct stages of the transition. In the short term (2020~2027), a full-incineration strategy reduces net emissions from 4169 to 1314.7kt CO2-eq, accounting for 95.4% of cumulative reductions. In the midterm (2028~2035), source reduction increasingly alleviates downstream treatment pressure. In the long term (post-2035), system optimization—through improved incineration performance and sludge co-treatment—enhances synergies and carbon sink effects. Among individual strategies, enhanced resource utilization (S4) yields the most immediate mitigation effect, whereas source reduction (S2) generates substantial long-term cumulative benefits. The integrated strategy (S7) outperforms all single-strategy options across most waste categories, underscoring the need for full-chain, coordinated governance. Overall, the findings highlight the importance of differentiated, time-phased, and waste-type-specific policy interventions to enable a low-carbon transition in urban MSW systems.
