      abstract = {Plastic straw waste, a component of urban solid waste is quite problematic, its presence is an indication of over consumption and that the materials are not being used efficiently. It is non-biodegradable and can stay in the environment for a longtime causing severe environmental degradation. Unless it is properly disposed and well utilized, environmental degradation is unavoidable. This research work scrutinizes the management of solid waste among the residents in Awka-south locality of Anambra state, Nigeria and aims at proper collection and utilization of plastic straw in production of creative fashion accessories. The researcher believes that the ultimate way of minimizing waste is through utilization and recycling. This will also help in controlling the danger of waste pollution in the society.},
