摘要：The management of plastic waste has been a major environmental problem across countries. The study therefore sought to explore people's attitudes towards plastic waste management in the Ga East Municipality of the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. Descriptive survey design was adopted to collect data from 120 residents of the Municipality through interviews. Descriptive statistics and factor analysis were used to analyse the data. The results indicated that residents were adequatelyaware of the environmental implications of indiscriminate plastic waste disposal. However, their attitudes towards plastic waste reuse do not support environmentally friendly methods of managing waste. It is recommended that the Municipal Assembly should also broaden educational campaign objectives to include educating residents on re-use, plastic waste reduction techniques, and source separation of waste.
