It shall be unlawful for any person to maintain, operate or conduct a junk shop or junkyard in or upon premises located in the Township, and no junk, as hereinafter described, shall be purchased, sold, stored, repaired, renovated, or restored within the Township by any person without first having obtained a license therefor from the Township Council as herein provided.

Every applicant for a license to engage in this business shall file with the Township Clerk a written application signed by the applicant or applicants, which application shall state:
The name and residence of the applicant, and, if a firm or corporation, the name and address of the officers and the registered agent or partners.
The length of time that the applicant or applicants (or if the applicant is a firm or corporation, the length of time that the manager or the person in charge) have been a resident of the Township, if such is the case, his or their place of previous employment, and, if the applicant or applicants have been convicted of a crime, when, what offense, and in what court.
A detailed description of the nature of the business to be conducted.
The Township Council may restrict the number of such licensed premises within the Township and may impose such reasonable regulations and rules with regard to this business as to be conducted not contrary to law, as the Township Council may deem necessary and proper for the preservation of public health, safety and welfare of the Township and its inhabitants, and as may be necessary to carry into effect the powers and duties conferred and imposed upon the Township by law.
