do you toss your thread clippings on the floor?

Do you clip and toss and clean later, or do you have a place for the clippings and put them in their place?
Do the thread catchers that hang on the side of the table attached to a pin cushion help to corral the clippings?
What do you do with all those clippings over time? Toss or use in another way?

I TRY to put those devilish little threads and fabric bits into the trash can as I go along but it's as though they take on a life of their own once released from the sewing machine
and stick to my fingers when I try to release them, drop to my clothes and then dance their way to the floor where they stay 'till I'm through with the current project. Then I clean them all up and start all over again with the next project!
