No person or persons, unless under permission as hereinafter provided, shall remove, transport or carry through the streets, alleys and other public ways of the City, any table and kitchen waste, offal, dead animals and any other types of waste. The Director of Public Service is hereby authorized to grant permission to any person, firm or corporation for the purpose of collecting and removing table and kitchen waste, offal, dead animals and any other types of waste. For the collection and removal of such refuse and waste, however, the person, firm or corporation so authorized shall provide for each truck a watertight covered body or container which in the judgment of the Director is sufficient to prevent the spilling of such refuse and waste and the escape of noxious odors therefrom. To the Director is given the right to rescind at any time any permit when in his judgment it will be to the interest and welfare of the City to do so.
