Hoarding is defined as when there is excessive clutter that impairs basic living activities such as mobility, housekeeping, showering, or sleeping.
Fire hazards, disease from unsanitary conditions, vermin and insect infestations, and also the risk of injury from tripping over possessions can be caused by even the smallest type of hoarding. Over time, as more and more items in the home accumulate, the more hazardous the situation becomes. Secrecy, shame, and guilt are associated with hoarding and people with hoarding tendencies and their families have fewer visitors while typically hiding the condition from everyone, including relatives and friends. If a hoarding situation is not properly managed, hoarding can lead to very dire consequences.
The process of cleaning the premises of hoarding and clutter removal can be difficult challenging work because people with hoarding behavior often find it difficult to part with their possessions. When family members or friends are attempting to “change” the behavior of a hoarder, it can result in friction that may last for years to come.
Removing hoarding contents should be considered a hazardous project because the potential for mold and decay that may be lurking under the layers of stuff can create multiple types of health conditions that may result if not wearing personal protection gear in a hoarded environment.

Uncontrollable or compulsive hoarding - what is it?
Compulsive hoarding includes some or all of the following:
Most commonly, people tend to hoard everyday possessions, such as paper (mail, newspapers), books, clothing and containers (boxes, paper and plastic bags). There are more serious cases of people who hoard garbage or food, even if it’s rotten. In rarer cases, some people will hoard animals or human waste products.
First and foremost, the health and safety of those living in or near the home, causing health problems, structural damage, fire, and even death are the biggest concerns due to compulsive hoarding.
Hoarding can cause court actions such as evictions that can be expensive, emotionally devastating, and lead to hospitalizations or homelessness.
The ensuing condition of the home and the hoarding behaviors can be overwhelming to family and friends while causing a lot of conflict.
• Extremely difficult to get rid of items
• Large amounts of debris in spaces at the office, at home, in the car, or in other spaces (i.e. storage units) that makes it difficult to use furniture or appliances or move around easily
• Loss of important items in the clutter such as money or bills
• Powerful feelings of being overwhelmed by the volume of stuff that has ‘taken over the house or workspace
• To not be able to stop taking any items that are “free”, such as advertising flyers or sugar packets from restaurants
• Constant overbuying or stocking up on items just because they are a “bargain”.
• Keeping visitors, even family or friends away from the home due to shame or embarrassment
• Keeping needed repair people out of the home to make repairs
