(a) The permit year shall begin on January I in each year and shall terminate on December 31 of the same calendar year. An annual permit issued between December 1 and December 31 of any year shall expire on December 31 of the calendar year next following issuance thereof.
(b) A collection box permit shall be renewed annually. The application for renewal must be filed not later than thirty (30) days before the permit expires. The application for renewal shall be upon a form provided by the Township.
(c) The Township shall either approve or deny the renewal of a permit within ten (10) business days of receipt of the complete renewal application and payment of the renewal fee. Failure of the Township to act before expiration of the permit shall constitute approval of the renewal of the permit.
(d) A permit fee set by resolution of the Board of Trustees shall be submitted with the application for renewal.
(e) Prior to expiration of the permit, the permittee may voluntarily cancel the permit by notifying the Township in writing of the intent to cancel the permit. The permit shall become void upon the Township’s receipt of a written notice to intent to cancel the permit. No refunds will be provided once a permit has been issued.
(f) The Township shall approve the renewal of a permit if the Township finds that no circumstances existed during the term of the permit which would cause a violation to exist and that at the time of submission of the application for renewal, or at any time during the renewal of the application for renewal, there were not circumstances inconsistent with any finding required for approval of a new permit. Any permittee whose permit has been revoked shall be denied renewal of the permit for the subsequent calendar year.
(g) If the permit expires and is not renewed, the collection box(es) must be removed from the real property within a maximum of ten (10) days after expiration of the permit.
