We are a local, family-owned business, and it shows.

We understand the vital role that waste management plays in our community, and we take that very seriously as we serve the needs of our fellow businesses in Chicago and the surrounding areas.

Economy Disposal is a multi-generational family business, and that pride has been passed down along with the core values upon which we have built our reputation. Our company ethos has been largely dictated by our Dutch heritage.

At Economy Disposal, we take great pride in our work.

Dutch culture is renowned for being budget-conscious, hard-working, practical, and well-organized, and you’ll see all of that come alive in our work. We stand by these values, and we believe in the power of community and the value of relationships.

Today, Economy Disposal remains one of the few Dutch-owned businesses still in operation in the Chicagoland area. Perhaps even more important than that, though, is that we are one of very few family-owned waste management organizations in the country.

You simply will not find a more personalized touch, and we are dedicated to delivering a hassle-free waste management experience from start to finish.

The Economy Disposal Difference

TAZ Holdings, LLC is a family owned and operated corporation providing over 50 years of combined industry experience in refuse and recycling services. We provide the most reliable and cost-effective roll-off container and trash compactor services through our Roll-Off Division, Economy Disposal Service. Your demolition materials will then be transported and processed at one of our state-of-the-art recycling facilities located in Aurora, McCook, Palatine or Plainfield.

Economy Disposal Service is pleased to offer several container sizes and LEED documentation at No Additional Charge! We have a fleet of over 30 trucks operated by safe and courteous union drivers. We are big enough to handle any project, and small enough to know our customers by first name.

We own and operate four licensed Construction and Demolition (C&D) recycling facilities in the Chicagoland area that are open to the public. They are fully equipped to satisfy all your disposal and recycling requirements with the most competitive rates in our industry.
