i know on a few jobs i have worked i would work out a deal with the supervisor for scrap, but as stated above by yourself and others know what you can do on the companies time and know what you have to do on your time.

also i don't know if your job site works on Saturdays but when i was working construction and scrapping on the side the weekend was the time to take your extra junk out as there were usually less workers to make a stink about you getting an extra deal, because like i said you may have an agreement with the boss but inevitably another laborer can raise a fuss if they get the notion that your getting an leg up on everybody else.

isn't the leg up comment true...people always want what somone else gets.

I work in a prison. For years they just threw away the soda cans from the Visits area. 200 inmates a day 2-3 visitors 1-2 drinks each. I mean it added up. I started getting the trustee inmates to seperate the au and took it home. before you know it...other Officers saying "How come he gets the cans!" so guess who gets 4000+ less cans a week? so yes be discreet as possible.
