It still took me a while to figure out the best practices for this and I will link to a thread that covers it well. [OCT 2019] Fees are low, use this opportunity to Consolidate your small inputs!

Before anyone rushes off and starts consolidating, I just want to draw attention to this point:

Consolidating your inputs links them together on the blockchain. This wouldn't be any different when you use the same funds in any other transaction, but you should consider this before doing it.

I usually take care to avoid linking certain address clusters together -- particularly those that have or will interface with a KYC service like an exchange. The fee savings of consolidating outputs is great but it's something to keep in mind. Consolidating all the outputs in your wallet at once could link together most of your past wallet activity.
