Now CD’s, Larva lamps and bread makers are amongst the items that you may find hoarded in a typical North West Home according to a survey by the British Heart Foundation.
Included in the findings which is intended to encourage people to clear out this spring and donate using their free collection service, is the fact that eighty per cent of people in the North West are self-confessed hoarders, stashing away on average thirty one unwanted household items worth a whopping £524.
More than one in four people admitted they have a bedroom in their house dedicated to excess clutter, with sixty five per cent of the contents last used more than ten years ago.
People in the region hoard an average of thirty one items which they never use and when asked why, the most common reason for not wanting to let go was, ‘hating the thought of items going to waste’.
Amongst the other most popular items in our collections you may find Walkmans, Gameboys, Beanie Babies, Roller Blades, Soda Streams and Furbies.
