You sweep up a screw in the dust pan. Do you save it?

Keep it. It goes in the Mason jar of random screws and nails.

I do!  My husband is notorious for sticking things in his pockets without thinking - even if he's working on something.  I have a little jar in the junk drawer that holds the odds and ends I find on the floor and in his pockets.  We rarely need anything that's in there, but still.  You never know.

It goes in my spare parts box!!

I save it for a day or two just in case.

save it, ask the kids and dhi if they know what its from. Many times they do. Then usually put it in the junk drawer.

I throw them in the junk drawer. I even saved a screw that I found on the floor at work one day!! At this moment, though, I am not sure whether i put it in my drawer or finally threw it away. LOL

Yes, I save it - there are bins the workbench for spare parts and we rummage through them often before we head to the hardware store. It has saved my rear end on more than one project. Sometimes, I have found the part's original home (and once what I thought was just a nut was really a decorative end on the blanket stand!).

However, there are those moments when in the trash it goes because the garage is just too far to walk! LOL

Husband sweeps and vacuums so this is not my issue. I would throw it in the junk drawer.

I so agree with this.

Toss it in the box with other unsorted screws. And YES, sooner or later, I WILL use it!

I try to think where it belongs. If I can't think of anything, in the trash it goes!

Trash it if DH is not around. He never throws ANYTHING away!

By the time my son was 2 (he's now 46) he was obsessed with picking up screws, marbles, washers, nuts or what ever he could find. He had a coffee can in the garage that held his "treasures". Eventually he began dropping his found things in the junk drawer. This is how it has always been and probably will always be for me. Into the junk drawer it goes!!!
