Hollander, what does this have to do with the Outfit and the garbage business? You just came out of nowhere with that, so random.

By the late 1950�s, 90% of the hauling firms in the Windy City were controlled by the Dutch population which became know as the �Dutch Mafia�. They were not some bloodthirsty criminal organization but the thing was that they kept the business among their own people. Some sources say that back in the old days the Dutchmen had the garbage business in their blood and they controlled it since the late 1920�s. During that period, the Dutch scavengers formed an association to regulate the whole business and also eliminate any possible competition, which was known as the West Side Garbage Association. The members decided not to compete with each other and traded accounts to concentrate their routes for greater efficiency and by the 1959, the association changed its name to Chicago and Suburban Refuse Disposal Association. Known Dutch families such as the Huizengas or the Van Tholens controlled 90% of the garbage business in Chicago and profited with over 20 million dollars a year. I believe that the Dutch control over the waste business was one of the reasons on which the Outfit never had the same satisfaction. But that didn�t last long because the lucrative idea lured the Outfit like a shark following the smell of blood, but in this case it was the smell of cash.
