The invention discloses a tunnel kiln for treating organic waste through waste heat. The tunnel kiln structurally comprises a kiln body, a heating device, a kilneye, a driving device and a hooking, rotating, water filtering and loosening device, wherein the kiln body is of a hollow rectangular structure; the heating device is arranged below the inner part of the kiln body; the kilneye is arranged at the front end of the kiln body and is integrally formed; the driving device is arranged above the middle of the kiln body; and the hooking, rotating, water filtering and loosening device is arranged at the middle position of the inner part of the kiln body and is connected with the driving device. The hooking, rotating, water filtering and loosening device first vertically lies, and is embedded in the organic garbage in a down-rotating manner with a relatively small area and under relatively high pressure intensity, so that the primary loosening of the garbage is realized; and the hooking, rotating, water filtering and loosening device is then tiled, and an inverted V-shaped filter net is adopted to filter a part of water; and meanwhile, the garbage is loosened, so that the evaporation of water in the accumulated organic garbage is accelerated, and the quick and thorough energy-saving incineration is realized.
