Keys are just like clothes hangers, they reproduce in dark spaces

Wouldn't work for me. My wife would just say I'm a bad-singin' ole guy with sore feet....😥
You’ll find out what the key belongs to the day after you throw it out and you find that that old bike in the garage has a bike lock through the spokes.

We're downsizing and trying to get rid of 50 years of accumulated stuff. I'm stunned by the incredible number of keys emerging from drawers, boxes, and miscellaneous other hiding places. Large keys, small keys, all kinds of shapes. We don't have a clue what locks they belong to. Do keys multiply while you aren't looking?.... 🤔
I think every time you have guests in your home, they always leave a key for no particular reason at all!
Yes, they do, and you can get genetic variants. I got rid of most of my old keys a couple of months ago, but the drawer is almost full of them again. In addition to the ones I need, I have a lots of strange-looking mutations. As long as they don't start crawling out of the drawer at night, I'm okay.

All those socks you lost over the years, became keys. 😄😄😄

A great idea. If you have too many keys, put a couple in your pocket and next time you visit someone stick one of them between the couch cushions. It becomes someone else's problem.
The principle could be extended to anything you have a lot of and that fits in your pocket and between couch cushions.
Will metal recyclers take keys or are they too small to bother with?

I just used the metal bin in the lab machine shop. They're too small to bother with as far as a metal recycling business is concerned.

I have a theory about those "lost" socks. Socks don't get lost in the dryer. All that lint forms new socks.
