No person, firm or corporation shall engage in the business of collecting, hauling and/or disposing of any rubbish, refuse, paper, rags, appliances, furniture or scrap metal unless he first obtains a license from the Building Inspector. The fee for any such license shall be ten dollars ($10.00) per year. All licenses shall expire on December 31 of the year of issuance. This section does not apply to any private individual hauling any of the above-mentioned refuse from his own premises, nor shall it apply to the Village nor to any person, firm or corporation who or which has contracted with the Village to provide such services, nor to any private or public schools.
A condition of any license issued shall be that the licensee agrees to collect, transport and dispose of any rubbish, refuse, paper, rags, appliances, furniture or scrap metal, in a sanitary manner, so as not to create a nuisance, and to comply with all regulations set forth by the Building Inspector (which include times and days for collections and designation of areas), and any other further rules which the Inspector may make from time to time, and the rules and regulations set forth in the application for a hauling and scavenger permit.
Any vehicle conveying or carrying such matter shall be so constructed and operated that its contents shall not spill or scatter upon any public or private property. Any person, firm or corporation hauling or in the business of scavenging any of the above items, in any open vehicle such as a truck or trailer, shall provide that the load shall be covered with an adequate tarpaulin or canvas so as to prevent any spilling or scattering of its contents.
