It's a good idea to have a few paper plates or

spreading parts out while keeping them neatly coralled and organized.
Yogurt and other diary food plastic containers here. The large ones
(64 oz.) are great for storage--they accept a permanent marker for
indicating the contents (e.g. "PLCC sockets", "14-pin DIP sockets",
"4-40 spacers") and they have secure lids.
For holding parts while disassembling, the smaller ones are great.
They too have lids, so there's no losing parts. And they do double
duty as degreasing containers--just dump the degreasing solvent in,
shake and drain. There's virtually nothing that attacks
polyethylene.
I don't know if they're consducive to building up damaging static
charges as I don't have a cat to rub against them.
