The paper reports a study in Tangail municipality, Bangladesh, to assess public awareness of the problems of using and disposing of plastics. Results showed that a significant proportion of respondents (40.5%) use plastic containers, and 30.5% use polythene bags. Most of the respondents (>90%) are aware of the adverse effect of plastic use. The respondents' awareness of the issue is related to their education level, and 80.3% would like to reduce plastics use. Most respondents (90.5%) are willing to use environment-friendly alternatives when available at affordable prices. Changes are desirable in management of waste and some are proposed.
