Re: When do you dispose your guitar pick?
Since I switched to a stainless steel pick for my main axe I don't ever have to dispose of them!
For my other guitars I dispose when they first begin to lose their sharpness though. I like the accuracy of a sharp pick.

Indeed
They mysteriously disappear too often.

Re: When do you dispose your guitar pick?
I use Gravity picks, and I haven't worn one out yet on my electrics after months of playing. The thin one I use for acoustic (a .75mm Striker in Standard size) developed a slightly rounded tip from aggressive strumming after several months, but is still usable, if not better. I also have a couple of pre-production models of their new Gold Series picks, and these reportedly will last even a lot longer than their regular acrylic models.

I endup losing them long before they wear down enough to toss, or I save the worn down ones for when the other guitarist in my band doesn't have any at practice or a gig, which is always, and give them to him since he never returns them.

I use Brossard horn or bone picks if they start to round (and that takes a long time) I can file a point back on them and they are good for another year or two. I was using stainless for a long time but these seem to have a warmer tone.

I use the .88 Dunlop "The Wedge" and I put them in a jar when they lose the sharp edge but I usually buy them by the gross and 144 picks lasts me several years. I also have all sorts of optional . different material picks to use for different sounds or situations. Brass , Zinc ,Petrified Wood , Brazialian Agate , Tek picks , a couple V picks somewhere etc. I have a couple 100 Dunlop Tortex in the bag of everything to give to people that are too stupid to be able to carry a pick to a gig.So basically I keep picks forever I have had some of these for 30 years plus.

I usually buy a big bag of Ultex picks. When the tip is gone, I dispose of them. Getting used to the blunt pick and then having to readjust to a brand new one is a pita imo.

I use a sustainable and progressive solution for pick disposal:
I've had 2 children, who find all picks and drop them down the vents.
This has saved me loads of time and energy on pick disposal.

There may be a law of conservation of energy, but there is no law of conservation of guitar picks. I have no idea where they all go. It's like the sock monster, no one knows where they disappear to after you do laundry.

Anthony of StevieSnacks.com does this. I figured SRV must have as well if he does.
