do you toss your thread clippings on the floor?

I try to keep my contained as much as possible. I collect them until the spring and then toss them into the back yard. I birds will come take them threads to add to their nests. It's such a joy to see my threads resting under a bunch of baby birds....

I have a trash can on both sides of my sewing center. I aim for one or the other, but often hit the floor! My quilt dog sometimes gathers them for me by dragging his sleeping bag across the floor.
