I have something similar: a "garbage" folder in my downloads folder, and when I tire of the clutter I put all of it, including "garbage", into a new "garbage" folder. It's garbage all the way down.

I have a separate download folder as a dump. It's now at 550GB

I have a "Unsorted-NEW" and "Unsorted-OLD". When everything is too cluttered I rename "Unsorted-NEW" to "Unsorted-Number" and move it to "Unsorted-OLD" along with the previous iterations. Then I make a new "Unsorted-NEW" and put the clutter in it. Which I'm totally going to sort and not just leave there and forget about it until everything's too cluttered again...
