At work I have a handful of labeled plastic coffee cans, organized by "small bolts", "bolts", "washers", "studs", "nuts", "clamps", etc.
Still have to dump them most times, but less hassle than a bucket
Oh I have the "bolt organizer cabinet" too, which has the small screws, bolts, nuts, and washers, along with dozens of spare fuses, specialty bolts, odds and ends, etc. Been through them too many times too.
