It depends on enforcement. Just because it's on the books doesn't mean doesn't mean anyone will keep those without the permit from picking up scrap. Then you'll just be someone who "played by the rules" but gaining nothing.
Case in point: A few years ago in my town, a new town clerk found out she could require guys who plow snow for others to pay a fee to register (no sticker or anything like that involved). I paid the $10 and listed my business. I asked what happens to those who don't pay then fee and register. She said "I send them a letter" (whatever that would do). Next winter, there were only three guys registered but dozens out plowing. No letters were ever sent. Nothing happened and eventually it was forgotten.
