To better serve our business community the Village of Oak Brook has automated the Scavenger Licensing process. Beginning September 21, 2023, all New and Renewal Scavenger Licenses will be done online.

The first time you access our partner website you will be asked to Create an OpenGov ID. Your establishment’s license history will be attached to that ID and will be used for each subsequent renewal and for updating any information. We suggest creating a generic ID that can be used by multiple designees.

Access to our online Scavenger Licensing process system is available here.

Please contact the Village Clerk’s office at (630) 368-5038 if you require any assistance with the scavenger license application process or please email your inquiry to Licensing@oak-brook.org.
