Plastic usage in society has become an issue that should be addressed correctly. In an international study entitled Plastic Waste Associated with Disease on Coral Reefs Indonesia was one of the most productive plastic polluters to the ocean by the period of 2010-2025. In order to address it, The Government had enacted various hierarchical policy be it, national- local. The result was far from optimal since Plastics still placed to be the second-largest waste with high possibility unprocessed in the landfill. The current condition of the landfill was vastly open dump instead of processed management. Ministry of Home Affairs as the pivot of the national government in the regions needs to learn and supervise waste management policies by the locals. This research aimed to elaborate on the dynamics, problems, and implications of waste management policy in regions. Based on qualitative method with descriptive approach. this research found that local plastic management within the regions quiets unproductive since several multilevel policies yet to be synergized. Government, be it national or locals, indicated improvement in waste management policy at the regions. In line with that, The National Government advised taking actions as the following; inter-ministerial coordination; research and technology integration; optimizing technical coordination forum between the ministry of home affairs and other executive organs; coordinate with rural ministry to open an alternative for waste improvement by the village allocation fund; tipping fee acceleration policy for the local government; PKK instruction to embrace society-based policy of waste reduction.
