The invention discloses a method and a device for burning household wastes by a clockwise-pushing turning grate. The device is characterized in that a grate-type waste incinerator (10) is internally provided with standard grate units I (208) or standard grate units II (209), and the standard grate unit I (208) or standard grate unit II (209) is composed of a sliding grate (201), a turning grate (202) and a fixed grate (203); and a plurality of standard grate units I (208) or standard grate units II (209) constitute a clockwise-pushing turning grate (20) with the same inclined bed surface, thesliding grate (201) and the turning grate (202) in the standard grate unit are respectively driven by an independent driving mechanism, and wind is independently supplied for a wind room (207) below the standard grate units by a fan. The method and the device disclosed by the invention have the advantages that the refuse burning is easy to control, and the fire-stirring effect of the grate is strong; and meanwhile, the method and the device can adapt to broader refuse compositions, thereby reducing the construction and maintenance costs.
