Do you clip and toss and clean later, or do you have a place for the clippings and put them in their place?

Do the thread catchers that hang on the side of the table attached to a pin cushion help to corral the clippings?

What do you do with all those clippings over time? Toss or use in another way?
I try to save as many as I can - and then in the spring of the year I throw them in the yard for the birds to add to their nests. It's fun to see colored thread hanging from a robin's nest - warms my heart a little!
