No such vehicle or container shall be allowed to become foul or offensive.

No person, firm, or corporation shall operate as a waste hauler and collect or transport solid waste from another person, firm, or corporation for a fee within the corporate limits of the City without first obtaining a license for such purpose from the City Clerk. Licenses under this article shall not be issued unless the City Clerk receives affirmation from the Inspection Team that the applicant's proposed operation meets all applicable requirements.
