I am saving everything. The pieces 3/4" and larger can be used in little quilts. I have done doll house quilts with very tiny seams so even 1/2" pieces can be used for that. Selveges are being saved to do a tote bag, will be fusing them down and anchoring them with decorative stitches. Strips are sewn together and blocks cut out of them. Dog ears and snippets are placed under tulle with bits of thread and stitches done over it to hold them. I am a horrible pack rat and save everything. I use decorative canning jars to hold the little bits so when they are on the shelf they still look pretty. Good luck. I'd be happy to take any selveges or little pieces off folks' hands and pay the postage to get it to me if you have problems throwing them away and wasting them. Just send me a PM & I'll give you my address.
