# How many scraps does the Junk Yard keep?

It keeps up to 250 scraps unless you change it. You can set the cap anywhere from 50 to 500, in steps of 50, under **Keep up to** in Settings → Junk Yard.

When the board is full, the **oldest** scrap drops off to make room for the new one, while pinned and recent scraps stay. The Settings pane also shows how many scraps are on the board right now.
