Since our first day at culinary school, we were taught to keep bowls at our work station: unprepared and unpeeled vegetables in a bowl on the left; peeled vegetables in a bowl on the right, and a third bowl to hold your peelings. Knives and other tools are next to the cutting board. If we peeled vegetables with no bowl underneath, we'd get yelled at.
It's actually a really organized way to work in your kitchen. Since all the peelings are in one bowl, I can just dump them in a bag I take to the neighborhood compost bin. Now I feel weird if I'm peeling a carrot and I don't have a bowl beneath my hands.

Ha ha ha! I feel naked w/out the bowl underneath as well. : P
Good call. I'm not sure why I don't do this more often and end up with a pile on my counter!
Gosh! That is exactly what I do... it is just so much easier to clear the kitchen after.
Imagine, no more accidentally putting the peeled veggies in with the scraps! ;)
Good plan!
