Wow. Who was/is the hoarder? It ran in my husband's family. It's something that never really completely goes away. And I'm pretty sure it can be contagious. There really needs to be a 12-step program for it. I feel for you.
My dad. He's a carpenter, and the stuff he hoarded was from various construction sites. He basically stored old, broken tools, mismatched construction materials, and even bent rusty nails.
Glad I wasn't alone in sorting through the stuff, because we were told after we had thrown everything in one waste container that we had to sort burnables in one container and metal in another. Took us 4 hours to sort through all the junk separating metal from burnables. And then there's stuff like old discarded tires from cars we don't own anymore, stuff like insulation and paint that has to be sorted into a separate container apart from metal and the burnables. 2 containers, so far, but we need to get stuff from the back of the house, and it's pretty inaccessible now because of overgrown vegetation and dirt filled up. Not looking forward to get all the stuff from back of the house, because it's mostly big plates used for making concrete walls, or what it's called in English. Most of it is pretty rotten and decayed anyways.
I'm beat after today. Tomorrow I'll drive stuff like the old broken tools and other electronics along with the paint and other buckets to the recycling facility myself. They have collected a full container with burnable material with mostly planks, wood plates and plastic stuff, to the recycling/waste disposal facility where it'll be burned.
