The invention discloses an excavation operation method for a garbage heap body. The excavation operation method comprises the following method steps of site investigating, engineering risk eliminating, excavation operating, slope controlling, safety measuring, precipitation water diversion measuring, air diversion measuring, water filtration measuring, heap body covering, rain and pollution dividing, and sterilizing and deodorizing. According to the excavation operation method for the garbage heap body, the sufficient site investigation work is conducted before excavation, the appropriate measures are conveniently adopted to avoid risks, leachate of the garbage heap body can be effectively guided by arranging a leachate guiding and exhausting blind pit, smooth guiding of the buried air iseffectively ensured by arranging a drilling and air guiding well, and the safety of the workers is ensured; the water in the garbage is filtered by arranging a water filtering table so that transferring of the garbage is facilitated, reasonable and standardized excavation operation is conducted on a landfill, the safety risks are effectively avoided, other buildings can be reconstructed at the landfill, the reasonable disposal of the landfill can be achieved, meanwhile, the problem of urban land tension can also be solved.
