1960's and older parts tend to go in the bin as usually I've removed them because they're faulty or out of tolerance. Late 60's onward and I have loads of space "wasted" by keeping whole PCB's and even non working gear as donor sources for hard to get/now unobtainium parts. Leaving them on the PCB gives context to the parts and makes it much easier to locate them... that's my excuse anyway!
