A 20 year vet at the Norwalk shop told me to stop keeping every old power cord, and my bench has room now
Back when I started doing bench work in the late 2000s, I saved every cord, adapter, and busted wall wart because you never know, right? A guy who'd been fixing PCs since the 90s watched me dig through a rubber bin of them for 10 minutes and just said, "you are never going to touch 80 percent of that." He had a point, so I started keeping only the oddball ones (that weird 19V laptop plug, a couple of Cisco console cables) in a labeled drawer and tossed the rest at the e-waste place on Route 1. Cut my setup time on every job by a good chunk, no more digging. Curious what the rest of you keep in your scrap bin vs what goes straight to recycling.

That 80 percent line is spot on. Tossed my whole bin last year, zero regrets.
