My thought was that hoarding isn't specific to an item or items that have some type of value, but more to everything and anything. But I've never really thought about it and wasn't sure so I did a little research and this is what I've found:
Quote:
Understanding Hoarding
Hoarding is the persistent difficulty discarding or parting with possessions, regardless of their actual value. The behavior usually has deleterious effects—emotional, physical, social, financial, and even legal—for a hoarder and family members.
For those who hoard, the quantity of their collected items sets them apart from other people. Commonly hoarded items may be newspapers, magazines, paper and plastic bags, cardboard boxes, photographs, household supplies, food, and clothing.
