Default Question about trimming selvedge

When do you trim selvedge? I usually don't do it the whole length of the fabric to start, as I use it to establish the straight of the fabric when I fold it to press and cut. I never do it before washing. When I'm going to cut strips WOF, I wait and do it after cutting them, so I'm just getting the small selvedge on the strip as I use it. But maybe others do the whole length of the fabric? If so, and you end up with small chunk of fabric to put away for later, how do you determine which way is length vs. width? Does that make sense?
