I have a friend who never chucks anything, as in rusty pipe, bags of cement half rock hard, gallons of oil he bought cheap sometime in 1962, spares for lawn mowers that ceased production thirty years ago etc etc etc. He has two huge barns full to the roof with STUFF it is indeed a sight to behold but it makes me feel ill because I am the opposite 'use it or chuck it' is my motto.
My way is not without problems though. Last year sometime I found a small tin of keys in my desk that I didn't recognize so I chucked 'em, today I was going through some stuff in the garage and I found another tin full of small padlocks - you guessed it.
So which side are you on do you keep all those offcuts and bar ends 'just in case' or are you more 'zen' and prefer a clear work space or is there a middle way?
