Are You a Borderline Hoarder?
February 17, 2017

stamp-114353_960_720

Many of us hoard without realising what we’re doing, though more often than not the signs are very clear! If you’re concerned about your hoarding habits and are starting to wonder whether you’re a borderline hoarder (one who hoards just a little bit), ask yourself the following questions to find out!

Do You Think It’s Wrong to Throw Things Away?

If you have a moral aversion to throwing things away, perhaps believing that someone, somewhere can use the item in question, you have at least a borderline hoarding habit and need to take action immediately. A good way to start addressing what could be an ongoing habit would be to arrange skip bins hire in Perth and throw everything that you’ve been hoarding away. Moreover, make sure you refrain from making a pile of things that you’ll think about later – either you throw it away or you don’t, and it’s better that you do!

Do You Take Toiletries from the Hotel?

This isn’t necessarily hoarding (it’s more borderline thieving than hoarding!), though if you’ve amassed quite an impressive collection (and perhaps show off your collection to visitors) and you’re particularly proud of it, you’ve got a hoarding problem. No need to throw them out, use them up or keep them for travel!

Do You Believe Everything is Useful Now or In the Future?

Many borderline hoarders believe that everything is of use and that if something isn’t useful now, it will be later. There is often some truth to this, but that doesn’t mean that you should hold on to something when you know that you really should throw it away right this very instant. Visit http://www.putitinbins.com.au/ to hire a skip bin in which to discard all the things that may be of use to you in the future, but most likely will never be.

Is Your Garage or Carport Overflowing?

If your garage or carport is overflowing with things that you can’t bear to throw away, forget borderline, you’ve got a hoarding habit that must be quashed immediately! When it gets to the point that you can no longer park your car at home because of the things you’ve collected, it’s time to admit that you have a problem.

Do You Save Sauce Packets and Other Small Packs?

Hey, all of us stick a few sauce packets in the fridge from time to time and (sometimes) use them later, but if you’re collecting them from the restaurant or have amassed a sizeable collection, it’s about time you relinquished your habit and admit that you have a problem with hoarding.

If you answered ‘yes’ to one or more of the above questions, you’re a borderline hoarder – at best! But there’s no need to stress, just take a few simple steps to rid your home of the things you’ve ‘collected’ or ‘saved’, like hiring a skip bin and throwing it all away and making the effort to never hoard again. It may not be quite so easy, but the rewards are definitely worth the effort involved!
