 I have a 5 gallon plastic bucket by the bandsaw.  All small metal scrap
- razor blades, old lifters and timing chains, uselessly small cut-offs,
etc. go into the bucket.

 The local "metal recycler" will actually buy the stuff, but it's not
worth the hassle for thirty cents or so.  When it gets full, I toss it
in the truck and dump it into the scrap metal bin at one of the salvage
yards I frequent; it seems to amuse them.
