Yes. Weird Beard, think a second channel on scraping would prove useful. When that happened. I told you to fight it. Glad of the outcome. Thank you for sharing! 💯👍👊

I want to see more more scrap scrap pick up’s and dumpster pick ups and dumpster diving videos and by the way great content keep up the great work 😊

They love to levy fines on people for cars and junk on property, and smog fees, etc etc etc, but gawd forbid somebody come along and do something good for the environment that puts a few dollars in their pocket. Oh sure you got it dropped, but look at all the hoops you had to jump through. I'm so glad you stood up to them. Congrats!!!

Continue being the stand-up man that you are. I don't fix cars, but enjoy your calm demeanor when watch working on your truck or cars (my family always shared an abundance of 4 letter words when they worked on cars). Congrats on finding a way to help our environment and your wallet. Keep up the good work.

Glad to hear the DA Had way more sense than the cop who wrote the tickets. Congrats on the Win !

I knew you were all good. The cop was fishing.🤘😝

I would watch your scrapping videos glad everything came out alright in court.

I was scrappin' in 08 and 09 and I loved it. I want to do it again. I would go out early morning on garbage day in the residential neighborhood to source the metal. I got enough building materials from one restaurant (under renovations) to completely finish the interior of my garage with 5/8 finish plywood. It was awesome.

Glad you beat it W.B. Im a PDR tech and many yrs ago I was working at a huge dealership in Tx that had been hit with hail... Most of the hoods & decks were not feasable to repair , so they were being stacked up for the scrap man... I got the idea to load up on these hoods & decks, fix them over the winter & sell them on ebay, ect.. I asked the body shop mngr & he said , go for it... So me & my buddy started loading our trucks after work , and stacking them in our shop .. Well...unbeknownst to me the General Manager of this dealer was getting a lump of cash every time the scrapper got a load of scrap auto parts... When he showed up , he was expecting a huge load ...(we took about 50 hoods & 50 decks up to this point) He was pissed ! But the G.M. wasnt supposed to be skimming $$ from the scrapper.. The scrappers normally take the vehicle parts & the dealer doesnt have to pay a fee every time the dumpster got full... The G.M. demanded we bring it all back immediately , in spite of the shop mngr telling him , we had permission... I pulled the G.M. off to the side & told him Id give him some cash & that there was still enough scrap of hoods , decks & collision scrap for the scrapper to make a load... The G.M. said , give me $400 & we are good ! I paid him the $400... But what he didnt know was , I was getting $300 to $400 for steel hoods/decks & $500 to $600 for the aluminum hoods/decks... And, I could fix 3 to 5 hoods a day & about the same for decks... I spent all fall and winter fixing the hail on these hoods & decks , and selling them as quick as I fixed em... P.S. we ended up taking 3 loads of hoods/decks & paying the G.M. $400 each time. That was in 2011 & I sold most of them over the nxt 3/4 years . Eventually I called a scrap man & he took what we had left over when Covid hit... For $1200 , we made a very tidy sum. Keep up the vids W.B. I enjoy your work.

Mike, the plywood, if in good condition can be value added. People who do pottery need small, (18" 12"), roughly, pieces to work on. You would need to seal them though, so the water doesn't affect them. You could get quite a few out of a large sheet. 😊 You did the right thing there Mike. Congrats on beating the rap. Some 'Tackleberry's' let stuff go to their heads and want to bust everybody. I do a bit of scrappin' myself, so I would like to see more videos on this. Trouble is, I end up coming home with more stuff than I took to get rid of. 😁

Thanks WB sure glad you got out of trouble.

You’re an honest dude - you were treated accordingly by the person with a damned brain and common sense. Great stuff Beard! glad to see you’re out of all that hot water.

207th! Happy HUMPDAY MIKE! Take it to THE MAN! Beat those tickets. Would love to see more scrapping videos. Some of the things people find is mind blowing. Roger in Pierre South Dakota

A written agreement is always a good idea. Glad you won.

I hope things get cleared up. As you know, you are actually saving the dumpster owners money--they aren't gonna scrap, they are gonna pay by the ton!

Awesome! So happy to hear all that mess is in the rearview Mike! Glad they were cool and dropped all that nonsense.

I love the scraping videos. I would watch anything you upload. I am a diehard fan of this channel.

Totally agree with you doing a second channel for scraping Mike 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻

Heck yea, I’ll watch your scrapping videos. Bring it on. Thanks Mike

We're glad you got most it dismissed YAHOO !!!!!!! Keep up the good work and keep building..........................

Interesting and informative video for sure! I am as bad as you at saving stuff, good piece of metal, wood, etc. I pick up free or almost free flat screen Tv's and get them going again and sell them. But mostly have kept family and friends supplied with nice working Televisions going on ten years now and at 73 years old it keeps me busy doing something. So happy you got that mess taken care of. You da man!

Solid content! Some people look down upon scrappers until they see how much they make daily. It is an excellent side hustle. Thanks WB... always good to view your uploads.

You’re the best Weird Beard!! You keep being you.

Hell yeh. Glad your bogus cases were thrown out. Keep uploadin the scrappin content. I did the same thing for close to 10 years for a little extra cash, so I’m a fan.

Glad everything worked out for you. I support anything that keeps you making the project videos.

Congrats on the legal win! Hope you do well with your continued scrapping!

I love scraping videos thanks 👍

Mike, Glad you stuck it out and prevailed! FYI: I mentioned your showing the CWMs calendar in a comment to Scott and he said he really enjoyed watching you do projects. So as you already know you have a solid friend in Alberta! All the best!

Just like the videos you do when you go to the pick a part. I enjoy those and the videos you do on scrapping.

Yeah man I'm glad you beat the charge man I'm one of the ones that told you to fight it and I'm glad you made it man and I like watching the scrap video so Keep On Keepin On

Thanks for sharing your information and your experience. Sorry for all the headaches and confusion. I'm glad that you are scraping. It helps the environment

I’d be happy to follow your scrapping adventures Why Not ! Your helping the Environment and more ! 👍

I'd watch another channel on scraping but the truck and car builds are the best.

I put a loft in my garage and used free plywood for the floor! Nice find, Beard!

Great video..scrapping is interesting content and you are doing a service keeping that stuff out of the landfills. Love your channel, keep up the good work because we all learn from you. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hi Weird Beard. I'm relieved that your legal woes are behind you. As far as I'm concerned, you're too nice a guy to have to put up with that stuff. As a long time viewer, I'm happy that things worked out well for you. 😂😂

Well done that officer loves his own voice by the sound of it,jobs worth glad it’s over for you.🇬🇧🇬🇧

Congrats, very cool you stood up for your self. God is good. By the way love the scrapin and that old truck behind you has the coolest grill.

Weird Beard (Mike) All 🇺🇸 American. A hard working man who provides. Keep up the great KZfaq content whatever it may be, I personally enjoy a everyday guy getting things done. Thanx!

Second scrap channel, letttttttssssss gooooooo!

Glad you got it resolved. I like your presentation.

Glad it worked out for you. I think if they throw it away, it far game. Thats just my thoughts. Looking forward to more dumpster diving!!!!

Scrapping videos would be cool to watch. I do miss the flip car videos, but I understand with prices the way they are nowadays, it's hard to get a cheap car that isnt completely hammered. I'm loving the truck build, she's looking sweet!! Keep up the good work, Mike!

I don’t know where ‘To Protect And Serve’ comes in with this officers attitude Mike but I’m so glad that you got to see a grounded, common sense educated DA to help you and see that what you are doing and trying to achieve is actually helping to protect the environment and help you support your family as well as, in no doubt, pay your taxes. Win win all round Mike do props to you and hopefully shame on the cop!

Always be sure you have a signed permission paper to be able to show the authorities! Glad it all worked out and the DA worked with you.

Congrats on the situation getting resolved. And yea, a scrapping channel would be cool.

Glad to hear things worked out! Prob a good idea to print up some homemade permission slips for when you do get permission. Make it so they just add company name and signature. Don't put dates or locations so they can be used at multiple job sites. Maybe even ask for the address of other job sites when you get permission 👍

Glad you could get the charges dropped Mike, as the cops were out of line from the start. It's awesome that business and construction company was willing to help, hopefully a big weight off your mind 🙂 Interesting to see how you go about the scrapping, my brother has done a bit here and there and its definitely something we plan to do more of 👍

Yep, bring on the scrapping vids! Congrats on getting the legal stuff sorted too.

I dig the scrapping videos. Id watch them all!

Enjoyed the scrapping. Happy to see more

what a wonderful finish to your legal struggle ... yoour 2nd channel ... good idea.

Mike, I have been a subscriber of yours for a long time now it seems man. Really like how you went to the auctions to check out the cars then win them and fixed them up for sale. Your new scraping videos are just as good! You always had great content and I’m Glad to see your back! See ya on the flip side brother! 😉

Hey WB . . . i'm glad you got those citations dropped- - -recommended U fight it from the git-go and U did very well. Good on y'all bro . . . scrapping vids are cool too - -keep pressin!

Would like to see more of the quick flip cars that got the Weird Beard treatment.Those were my favorite.

Glad it all worked out WB. I enjoy the scrapping content and the car/ truck content. Keep it coming!

I admire your work ethic, your creativity, your skill and your talent. You are a very industrious young man. Thanks for sharing your projects.

When I first got married back in the early seventies my wife and I were pretty short on cash for furniture for our apartment. We used to cruise the streets on large trash pick up days and scavenge for dressers, tables, large pieces of wood, etc. Usually the furniture just needed some glue and screws to be repaired and some paint or stain.to make it nice and usable. It's amazing what people throw away!

Awesome Video!!! So Happy you Won your case. Love these scrapping videos.

I'm so glad things worked out for you and didn't have to give up all that cash. Even better that all those folks associated with that dumpster were so willing to help you out of a jam. It gives me a little faith in humanity. Keep up the good work and see you on the next video.

I've done a lot of dumpster diving. Can't tell how many good items I've found over the years that I could use one way or the other. Apartment complexes are one of my favorites because people just toss out even new stuff so they don't have to move it.

Seems like a stress relieving thing. Beating the crap out of metal! LOL!

Hey Beard I will start and call You lighting, Bud You never hit the same place twice! LOL LOL

First time watching , loved the dumpster diving for scrap .scrap video,s are the best .Lisa .NewZealand

Good deal on the legal issues!! Definitely would enjoy some scraping videos!

Good to hear that you got the charges dropped, to me it makes as much sense to fine someone for scrapping (as long as they aren’t stealing) as it would for arresting someone for sweeping the sidewalk or picking up trash. keep on scrapping, it helps the environment.

Weird Beard - Glad to hear your charges and scrapping dilemma has been resolved. Keep doing what you've been doing. I love your videos - all your videos... Are you still flipping cars? Would love to see a car flipping video - it's been a quick minute since the last one... Take Care... Glad you didn't have to pay any fines - the DA had a heart and conscious...

I'll state it this way. You provide good content. You post it, I'll watch it

Yes I am really interested in the scraping video its cool keep on doing it. Thanks for the update and congratulations man glad that's over.😉

Yep please show more of the scrapping videos! And more car flips like you used to show

I'm definitely interested in your scrap videos. I'm glad everything worked out for you with your charges. Keep these videos coming Mike.

Hi Weird Beard, you made think of the "scrap and pallet man". He has a buyer for pallets. And he always thanks the Lord after getting paid at the scrapyard. Maybe you should do that too, it might keep you out of trouble. Good luck scrapping!

Big win for the bearded warrior, congrats. 👍

Been checking back every few weeks to see if there was any updates, So glad it all got straightened out, Weird how we got so totally invested into this kind of stuff even if Iam in the UK ;)

Yeah! Thats just crazy! All involved should be all for saving the enviroment! But some cities do have ordinances on dumpster diving witch sucks Ive been in dumpsters when property owners rolled up on me some company recycle materials themself! Glad it all worked out! Take care my friend!

Happy that things worked out Sweet.😀

Me and a friend used to go to about 6 local town dumps (every little town had one) and pick up loads of stuff. One of our best finds was a full acetylene tank. Got lots of scrap steel to use around the farm and even clothes for the kids and farm wagon tires and aluminum cans and bottles etc... Every time something good. Now those dumps are closed and everything is hauled to the city dump miles away. The towns that have dumps have fences and locked gates and cameras. I guess they don't want anyone stealing the stuff they fill those big holes in the ground with! probably a liability thing incase a scrapper gets hurt and sues.

Congrats on the legal issues! I'm so glad they worked out in your favor!

Good news and bad news here in the Mid-Ohio valley! Good news i took a run of old fence into scrap last week and got $60 and pocket change for a truckload (which i put in the gas tank) bad news that was last week, this week the same truckload i only got 1 cent a pound... $3 and pocket change for a truckload... the local yards here either pay next to nothing or dont take fence anymore right now :(

So glad it all worked out for you little brother. Great video. Keep doing what you are doing

Love too see scraping videos it’s a great type of chill video

Brilliant good for you!

Good on you the only time i have had a problem with dumpster divers is when they pull stuff out and dont put it back

With all the extra wood, you should build a shelter for the blue and white car in your shop, I think you need that extra bay for all your projects.

Like the scraping videos. Keep it going

Congratulations on your court case. Love it when that happens. You are actually saving the company $ in not having bin emptied as often. I think I have met a cop like the one you encountered. Peace bro.

a second channel , Awesome . would like to see more of the 72 Plymouth 👍

I sure hope you beat this! Glad to hear from you.

This is such a common story of common sense. When is the government going to get common sense?! Glad you came out okay!

Thanks , man, I was wondering how this case was going. In the 80s I worked for a scrapyard. And that knowledge has served me well. Central California watching

I got excited seeing that plywood. That stuff has gotten pricey.

It would be fun to see you turn that scrap into a go-kart or something. Maybe a small dump trailer. A wind turbine from those fins? Just tossing out ideas but I understand it's just for the scrap.

It is crazy the amount and quality of stuff we throw away in America. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

Good for you ! Christmas was saved !

I'm glad it worked out for you. I have a thought... Would it be worth your time and effort to talk to the various construction companies in your area, and get a written permanent agreement from them stating that you are allowed to remove scrap from dumpsters at any and all of their work sites? That way all you would have to do is show the letter to the cops the next time they stop you at a dumpster -- which you know they will do because that cop had his ego hurt.

Hello Mike, glad to hear everything turned out well for you. Stay safe and remember get permission. lol. Take care Brother 👍👍👍

I’m glad everything worked out! Love your videos

My father in-law scrapped after he retired and did rather well, the good thing is recycling. Good for you 👍

Oh it's great to find out you went through this unscathed and got to keep your money in your pocket I know here in Rochester, New York we have all kind of scrappers with old junkie pickups and they pile those things up high because that's the only income and the authorities around here. Don't bother them at all unless there are posted signs which I've seen before but very rare

I like the scraping videos, keep up the great content been a subscriber since 2019
