I throw them in a box and never use them again. My USB cable box is a rats nest of at least a hundred cables. Why? Because I might need them some day. Even those stupid mini-Bs and UC-E6 for cameras that broke a decade ago. No labels necessary, just procrastination.

I put each one in a ziplock style bag (unless they're short, then I'll put a few of the same in a single bag). Helps to prevent the tangly part!
