I may just be a tight git but any used nuts and bolts I remove which are not ruined go in a plastic tub. There's been many a Sunday afternoon I was stuck for a nut and found something reclaimable in the tub. Not for big ends perhaps, but there are plenty of non-critical joints where a lightly used bolt will do just fine. Plus a good supply of raw material if you need to knock up a grub screw etc. With a handful of imperial fastenings now £50 or so it's a handy resource.
