Storing spent Bulbs from Containers

have had a beautiful display of snowdrops, crocus, daffodils, tulips in
different containers which have finished flowering. I've removed the
dead flowers to stop seed-heads appearing but now i want to put
something else in the containers.
how do i keep them over the summer months until i replant in autumn? I
have a cellar which will stay dark and relatively cool, so is it just a
case of removing the bulbs & leaves from container, letting the leaves
die back and bulbs dry out and then keeping cool & dry over summer?
or do i have to let the leaves die back naturally in containers before
removing?
Hi, I ususally plant them somwhere in the garden and leave them to
"regenerate" until the leaves die back. I consider that they are
probably not good enough for another season in a container, but
sometimes, they still give a nice display in the garden.
