SHHHH don't tell anyone but I toss ALOT of scraps. I just don't have the room to store them. I used to have a few brown grocery bags of 2" strips for a log cabin which I always planned on making but never got around to, so I put them (and alot of other scraps and yardage of fabric I didn't like anymore) out in my daughter's neighborhood yard sale last June. POOF! They were gone like a puff of smoke.
