Imho you must reserve two things for the junk:

1. One full sized storage cabinet
2. One week per year to throw out what you need to avoid the need of space
   from increasing. <no smiley here>

As to how you store the parts, original packaging is best, loose parts can
be put in antistatic bags or ordinary envelopes, and whatever you do, keep
a list. Probably in your computer.

hope this helps,
