<p>I usually get my Mouser order the next day. I live about 40 miles
from Mouser :) <br>
</p>
<p>Lately, they have been packaging some items like pots, IDC wire
housings, etc in plastic trays with individual compartments. I'm
finding these useful for sorting matched resistor/transistor sets.</p>
<p>As for plastic bags, I collect the ziplock ones in a box and
donate it when it gets full.<br>

<p class="MsoPlainText">> I just ordered 100 each of about 54
different values of 1% resistors for my two Dome filter
designs, and I transferred the resistors from the bags they
came in to the bags I already had brightly labelled in red
Sharpie ink. Somehow, I seem to be left with what looks like
about 2000 empty bags. Some of the resistors were packed in
10 bags of 10 inside a bigger bag. Some were in 4 bags of 25
in a bigger bag. Quite a few were in a small bag of 100
placed inside a bigger bag with an identical label.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">> I can imagine blue Digikey bags
flowing out of my doors and windows like so much flood water
if I make too many more Digikey orders. I've already got
shoeboxes of the damn things stored all over my garage. I
hate just dumping them in the recycling bin, or (heaven
forfend) the trash.<o:p></o:p></p>
