Default When does a piece become a scrap

Today I am cleaning up some smaller pieces of fabric and boarding with comic boards some of my 1/2 yd and FQ and even smaller pieces. Some of the much smaller pieces are finding their way to another scrap bin. Some I would consider to be larger than what I would usually say was scrap. Some about 1/16 of a yard, about 1/2 of a F8. Even this is larger than I usually would put into the scrap bin but they do not lend themselves to be boarded for a nice laid out cabinet which is what I am trying to achieve. Of course they are not even cuts of any kind.
All my scraps will eventually be used as I make so many scrappy quilt.
My question is simple but could be more complex but I am very interested as it could help me with this quandary. How do you decide when a piece of fabric is to small except for the scrap basket?
