I have one true junk drawer. It's in the dining room and there are some things that live there full time, and others are just when I need a place to put something. I cleaned it out a few weeks ago and felt so good! Now its mostly empty except for the kids name labels. I don't consider the other drawers junk drawers as I know everything in them and its pretty well organized. Like the drawer with office supplies is where I keep some scrap pads of paper and checkbook. I have a drawer for cards and candles, etc...
We have a junk basket in one of our kitchen cabinets. We have limited drawer space, so the bin works for those random things we need occasionally. But I'll admit that it's not necessarily "junk" that needs to get thrown away, but rather a collection of occasionally used cords, tape measures, pens, our checkbook, etc.
I’m assuming everyone has a junk drawer, but do you have a specific junk drawer?
We have a drawer that just has cards: birthday cards, thank you notes, etc.. When I see a cute card, I buy it, so when I forget to mail one, I have it easily accessible.
I do that too but call that my card box. it's in the closet in the office.
the junk drawer - I have one that is just "junk" - it's long lighters, checks I've e-deposited, TY cards we've received, matches, stickers, just random stuff that I throw in there w/o any order.
I also have a "kitchen stuff" drawer - it has organizers and has scissors, pens/pencils, batteries, deck of cards, screwdriver, measuring tape, small flashlight, outlet converter, paperclips, checkbook, business cards, etc. and well - other "junk"
we also have a junk room that is fully just stuff we need but not always, and other people's furniture that we are storing for them. I despise that room and want to purge it.

Everyone in this house is a neurodivergent hoarder, but all in different ways. Soooo we have lots of different junk stashes
My favorite is my gift box. I buy clearance toys or generic junk on sale for when I need a random gift. Kids and adults- we were randomly invited to someone’s 80-somethingth birthday the other day and I was NOT willing to go into town to go to Walmart.
