Default How much drop do you keep?

I have been trying to get my work area a little more organized lately and am struggling with deciding how many small pieces of aluminum I should keep. In this hobby, even a very small piece of material can be useful. I have been addressing the issue from a work holding standpoint: for round stock, if I can't chuck it in the lathe and do something with it, it's trash. I have also started throwing away "semi usable" milling machine stock. What does everyone else do?
