I’ve always wondered what all the other throwers did with all their yoyo string. Ball it ,make stuff? Throw it or eat it? Anything creative ? I feel like a big nasty string pile would be a good sign of a hard working thrower Me? I throw it away… I’ve got cats I have to be careful! ---

I make a wasp net counterweight or give it to my sister so she can make brackets with the stuff. ---

They go in the trash. With how sweaty my hands get keeping the old strings would be like collecting used gym socks. :-X ---

I just keep them in a big pile at the moment. I throw away some, but I try to keep it because you never know when you’ll need some spare string for something. It comes in handy. I’ve been thinking about making it into a ball, or something creative, just haven’t been able to think of something yet. ---

You can link tons of them together in the freehand counter-weight knot style. You can do tons of cool stuff with 50+ ft of string!!!
