The present invention relates to the technical field of environmental engineering, and particularly relates to a method for treating and recycling waste slurry in bobbin paper production. The present invention employs aerobic granular sludge technology-based two-stage process of treating and recycling waste slurry in bobbin paper production, and has features of low agent feeding, small floor space occupation, a short operating cycle, and easy controllability. By treating a high-load waste slurry in an adsorption section having aerobic granular sludge, fibrous materials in the waste slurry can be concentrated efficiently and resource substances can be recycled. By treating water discharged from the adsorption section with aerobic granular sludge in a biochemistry section, a water release can be guaranteed to stably meet the standard. By employing the method, the amounts of the fibrous materials and proteins adsorbed by the aerobic granular sludge in the adsorption section reach 710 mg/g MLSS and 140 mg/g MLSS respectively, the concentrations of COD, NH4-N, TP and SS of water released from the biochemistry section are 98 mg/L, 4.1 mg/L, 0.8 mg/L and 100 mg/L respectively, and the removal rates of COD and SS reach 98.8% and 96.2% respectively, enabling water release to meet a corresponding release standard.
