If you work for the army, federal government, yeah, thro it out. Even multinationals look at inventory as if it has a value- which it does. I needed a 5/8 NF for a fergie- I'm in a fix- tractor split in 3 directions, too much else to do than go shopping for a nut- 'if' -I got one... I did... the absolutely last place I looked, and it was still on a torch cut bolt. Back in business, worth the effort. Anyone who can stock up on new hardware ahead of time has a crystal ball I would like to have. The big plastic pails is your drawback. Even cigar boxes is better than fishing in a bucket. On the long winter nights... with a heater in the shop... I sort it all out. With my tap and die set right there. If they are rounded off, into junk pail, after sorting out sizes and thread, into a little bin. When everything in the pile is sorted into bins- grab a bin. Funky threads in that size are chased, now back in the bin. 2-3000 nuts bolts and washers are... 4-500 bucks? A pair of nice tires? A fresh battery for the fleet? What is scrap? a couple buckets-100 pounds... $12? Argibiz, wannabees, yep- ship shape shop. I never met a real old fashioned farmer who threw anything out, it is part of the 'calling'?
