The sources of plastic wastes in Gode town were residential (55%), commercials (32%), industries (9%) and other sources (3%). The poor management of municipality, shortage of resources materials, absence of private waste collectors and absence of legal legislation were identified as main challenges faced in the town. The result of this study also demonstrates that disposed plastic wastes had negative impacts on human health, animal health, blockage of sewage tubes and Environmental pollution which was ranked as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th respectively.
