With the way that the game world can constantly be in flux, today's trash could be tomorrow's treasure. In early beta there were health potions and levels, so you could out level health potions and they would be worthless, because they only healed a tiny fraction of your life bar. But since I tossed them on the floor and saved them, when all health potions were turned into upgrade stones, suddenly I had 1,000+ upgrade stones to play with.
My suggestion is to find a quiet spot like an entry room in a nearby building or a surface mission site, somewhere with 1 or 0 monster spawns -- to give you plenty of time to sort through items, and just dump it all there.
