To keep tooth picks clean and organized place them in an empty spice jar. One that has the sprinkle top spices and big enough holes for a toothpick to fit through. Just shake out toothpicks one at a time.
Plus by having them in a empty spice jar, they might have a nice taste & smell.

I use a clean empty small glass bottle that previously held olive oil. The neck is small so only one or two toothpicks come out when you tip it over. I keep the cap on it and they stay clean. I keep it near the stove so I have a toothpick handy for cake testing or what have you. A hot sauce bottle works for this purpose as well.

I also use one of those short parmesan cheese shakers like you see on the pizza restaurant tables for storing my toothpicks.

Toothpicks! They kept falling out of that silly box they come in so I put them in an empty spice bottle. The holes in the lid means that I can shake the bottle and only one or two will pop out through the holes. The times I have dropped them or knocked them over, I am embarrassed that I didn't think of it sooner!
