The invention belongs to the technical field of waste gas treatment and particularly relates to a method for treating waste gas generated by printing and dyeing wastewater. The method comprises the following steps of: firstly, treating the waste gas; and then carrying out primary biological treatment and secondary biological treatment on the waste gas. When the method disclosed by the invention is adopted to treat the waste gas generated by the wastewater in the printing and dyeing process, by removing dust in odor and preventing the dust from entering a subsequent biotrickling filter to cause increase of a pressure drop, increase of operating cost and even failure of operation are avoided. The method has another advantage that the method is low in investment, is low in operating cost, has low power consumption, does not consume chemical agents, does not generate secondary pollutants, is convenient to manage and operate, has good impact resistance, is rapidly recovered after shutdown, can reach a full load only in 2 to 3 days, is the most natural and green environmental-friendly process and is suitable for places in which the gas volume is large, concentration is low and pollutant ingredients can be biodegraded.
