The invention relates to a ground surface residual film recovering machine which comprises a machine frame, a film conveying wheel, a transmission device, a film lifting shovel, a film removing wheel and a residual film box. The film conveying wheel is mounted on the front portion of the machine frame through a bearing, the film lifting shovel is fixedly mounted on the machine frame and located at the rear lower portion of the film conveying wheel, the front end face of the film lifting shovel and teeth of the film conveying wheel are matched in rotating track, the film removing wheel is located on the rear upper portion of the film conveying wheel and is mounted on the machine frame through a bearing, the film conveying wheel drives the film removing wheel to rotate through the transmission device, the film conveying wheel and the film removing wheel are the same in rotating direction, and the residual film box is mounted on the rear portion of the machine frame. When the ground surface residual film recovering machine works, the film conveying wheel rotates on the ground surface and drives the film removing wheel to rotate at high speed through the transmission device, the film lifting shovel lifts ground surface residual films from the ground, the inclined wheel teeth on the film conveying wheel penetrate through the films and move the films to the film removing wheel along the front end face of the film lifting shovel in the rolling advancing process, and the film removing wheel rotating at high speed scraps residual films hung on the teeth of the film removing wheel off and throws the residual films into the residual film box.
