I know some people like that. There's a lot that is inarguably garbage, like dead batteries, that they still will not discard. I have a pretty high trash tolerance, but when it starts to become pure filth, I can't take it anymore.

I myself have a problem throwing things away just because I don't want them, if they are broken or spoiled I can part with them easily. Two solutions to my hesitation I have found, garage sales and/or donation to the Salvation Army.

I have also heard the advice "clean when you are angry", you're better able to throw stuff out then.

The Discovery Channel and Style Network both have shows that address this. They come into the house, clean them out, have a yard sale, organize and redecorate. It's fascinating to watch the hosts try to hide their horror when they see how some of these people live.
