Paul your editing is so good that when you went up that alley toward that car I thot you were still in your truck. Didnt realize you weren't until you went up beside it, lol. And I also wanted to tell you that be cause of you when I get up in the mornings first thing I do is say MORNING RALPH to my dog (his name is Tobe). ROFL!!!

[@meikefraze3467]

U r doing a good job every day. Hats off. May GOD bless you always 🙏. Oh could u tell me the name of the song and the young lady that I love to hear on some of your videos. I think it's about her life. Ty

[@kathyl5610]

Paul, you are a good person. I had different feelings when that man told you to get out of his dumpster. As long as you were not in his dumpster, you would think he would want the metal to be recycled. You handled it like the good man you are. But, I still think he should’ve said, sure I’ll put the metal aside. How much would that hurt him, nothing.😢

[@phloxxic1387]

Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who would hurt themselves climbing into or around the sharp metal, nails and etc or even slip and fall while digging into the dumpster and then turn around and sue the construction outfit because they got hurt. If the guy leaves the stuff outside of the dumpster it is a risk to the general public (think kids or people just passing by). No-win situation for him. Honestly, I was a little concerned at the risks Paul was taking when he climbed up on the side of his truck bed and leaned way into the dumpster like he did. Even Paul was concerned about what he did when he stopped and thought about it.

[@happyinharned9583]

He was gripy...Paul wasn't doing anyharm. Think they may have came to an agreement...was none of that copper? It sure looked like it...from a plumbers daughter ...

[@jimmiecox2496]

Hi Paul, first an update. The cancer is in remission and I am finally back home after 3 1/2 months. I agree with you about that man. With the way things are now where someone could sue you if you hurt them while they are breaking into your house. The liability that hangs over the company that owns that dumpster would be outrageous. I don't want you to get hurt. Sadly, had I been there, I would have been inside the dumpster passing those pipes to you. It's a good thing someone like him Steps up to keep us safe.

[@lindamiller5489]

Wow, that's the first time in the 4+ years I have watched you Paul that I have actually seen someone stop you from recycling. Such a shame people can't be more supportive of conserving our resources. Just by looking at his truck he was a contractor wanting to save his rear end of a lawsuit if you would have fallen. Don't feel bad, there will be many more to come ✊

Ugh so sorry that guy has no time for doing an ounce of effort to help the planet. Let's hope whatever team leader he is to make those decisions that he doesn't do many projects. Let the scrap be scrapped...figure out a safe way and let it happen. Just cause he is lazy and worried about liability and clueless on dumpster laws doesn't mean everyone should not recycle and spend energy doing so. Good for Paul and his neutral approach just boo to that dumpster custodian, filling the landfill one pile of recyclables at a time.

I can see both sides of the pages with this one. Your doing the world a favour and he's saving his ass. I don't believe he doesn't have time to put the metal separately, dropping it next to the dumbster would be a few seconds less than actually lifting it up and over the side.

In California they are strict about construction trash and recycling. My husband works commercial construction and he says you have to commit to disposing of drywall, metal, etc… responsibly. It is a little bit of a cost and can be a pain BUT it is the right thing to do. Of coarse some crews will ignore and just send to landfill. This middle age girl would be doing what your doing with hesitation as well. People complain about strict recycling/disposal laws in CA. But it is the right thing to do. Shoot if it was me….I would have said what can I do to help you get all the metal. More room in dumpster, less expense getting another dumpster. But I feel ya….I am basically uncomfortable, determined but uncomfortable with such an encounter.

I'm glad you differentiated picking up residential disposed waste (totally up for grabs) vs dumpster disposed waste (not!).

They probably have a team of "Pauls" to sort out the valuable materials before sending it to a landfill.

[@magic8ball1982]

Not many people realize that curbside picking is legal, but there are even more people do not realize that the legality does not apply to dumpsters because the Supreme Court's decision hinges on the phrase "reasonable expectation of privacy." Such reasonable expectation does not apply to curbside trash, making it a free-for-all. However, reasonable expectation of privacy does exist with dumpsters. And as you said, there are also safety concerns with dumpster diving. And that's probably why some places can get away with having ordinances or laws in place in regard to trash picking because they view it as less a privacy issue and more of a public safety issue.

[@ScrapPalletMan]

I hear what you're saying, though the privacy issue isn't the issue. In both cases it's reasonable to assume it's abandoned
