(A) No person, firm or corporation shall engage in the business of refuse collection, namely, the collection or disposal of animal, human or vegetable refuse, or offal, or refuse of any kind, without having first secured a license from the village therefor. Any such license shall be issued for the period beginning May 1 and ending on April 30 of the following year. Any such license may not be assigned, transferred or conveyed in any manner without the written consent and approval of the Board of Trustees of the village.
(B) The village retains the authority to withdraw any license issued under this chapter for cause, and refund a pro rata share of the license fee paid, at any time during the license year. In the event a license is recommended for withdrawal, the President of the Board of Trustees shall call a public hearing, conducted by the President and Board of Trustees, and hear testimony supporting withdrawal of the license. At least a three-day written notice shall be provided to the licensee, affording the licensee an opportunity to appear and present opposing testimony at said hearing.
