How many times have you hesitated to throw away something like the cover off of a spray can, thinking, "this would make a great storage tank"? How about those small paper cups that you get at places like Arby's for you sauces and ketchup? I save them all, makes a great thing to mix epoxy in.
And yes, I have a tub of blue foam chunks in all sizes, and a box of styrene cutoffs as well. I always remove and keep all the screws from something I'm going to throw away, and never throw away small jars or empty spray bottles. Even before getting into modeling, I saved just about every baby food jar that we had. I lost most of them after moving several times, but I'll be darned if we're going to have another baby just to get more jars...
