The mob ran waste hauling for businesses who did (and still do) have to contract with private companies to take away their waste- the big trial that is supposed to have got rid of most of the mob control of this business was in the mid-90s.

Residential trash in NYC is hauled away by city employees at the Department of Sanitation, and has been since the late 19th century.
