Using recycled, waste products for gardening
One of the easiest and most cost effective way of reducing the gardening expenses is by using kitchen waste and plastic waste for gardening. High quality mud is very expensive at Rs 60 per kg , so if kitchen waste is used for soil in the garden, it can be a cheaper and more cost effective alternative. In goa, there are plenty of earthworms who will eat the kitchen waste and convert it into manure which can be used for soil.
Also if there any plants and trees, the leaves should not be discarded or thrown out to be collected by CCP staff or local municipal authorities, they can be used for making manure and soil for growing the plants.
Many of the problems in goa are due to the misuse of resources, a lot of tax payer money is wasted to harass, defame, cheat, exploit and frame harmless indian citizens, instead of utilizing them for productive activity like recycling waste

Using waste to drive away pests
It is observed that rats, cats and other pests are coming to areas which are clean. especially during monsoon and dirtying those areas with their excreta . Cleaning up the excreta can be time consuming. So one of the ways to drive away the rats, cats and other pests is to litter the entrance with waste plastic, laminated sheet, metallized foil which is used for most of the food products .
Though the entrance may appear to be messy when covered with the waste, it is fairly effective in driving away the pests as they food products have a strong smell.
Those with money can afford to waste a lot
People who have limited funds will try to make the most of the little that they have. Wealthy people do not think twice before discarding expensive items because they are confident that they have enough money to purchase new items. For example in a posh housing society the cleaner woman was given a nearly new dressing table with a full length mirror.
The broke domain investor cannot even think of purchasing a new dressing table, because the domain renewal expenses are very high and funds available are very limited. Similarly the waste discarded in a posh housing society will contain many items which can be used for many months or years or can be reused in a less wealthy household. Hence if waste management was handled professionally, a lot of people can make some money.

Wealthy people discard a lot of scrap material
Usually people with less money, can purchase expensive items only occassionally and make them last for a very long time, sometimes decades. On the other hand , those with lot of money are able to discard their older items fairly often, and purchase the newest items and models. Looking at the junk from a particular household is an indication of the wealth or lack of wealth in the home. So in posh areas, many new or almost new items are discarded in the waste regularly.
For example almost new toys and furniture are often junked by people with a lot of money. In one posh residential area, in panaji, goa someone had discard a pair of brand new jeans at the entrance of the area , dumping it in the footpath along with other waste around 14 March 2017. The jeans would have cost at least Rs 500 each. In families with limited funds, old cloth is used for wiping and other purposes, it is not discarded. Only after a few weeks, some scrap collectors appear to have taken away the jeans.
