JUNK DEALER. Any person who buys, sells at retail or wholesale, and trades in, barters and exchanges new and used metals, rags, paper, scrap iron, scrap metal or new and used rubber, or who wrecks and demolishes buildings and personal property for the purpose of salvaging all junk, irons, metals and kindred articles therein contained.

Upon the approval of such application by the Town Council, said Council shall order the Clerk-Treasurer to issue to such person a junk dealer’s license after the payment by said person of the required license fee.
(C) Any license granted hereunder shall be valid for a period of one year from the date of issuance, and any subsequent license or renewal of license shall be obtained in the same manner as herein set forth for the issuance of an initial junk dealer’s license.
