Hoarding has been seen as a serious problem in America, and researchers have studied it in detail. Hoarders are people who are unable to throw away material things because of an attachment. While some people gather empty yogurt containers, used Band-Aids have also been collected. Hoarders collect so much stuff that it is impossible to walk through their house without using narrow paths, also called "goat trails." While it may seem odd for people who do not collect excessive things that others call junk, hoarders are depressed by the loss of their collections.

Hoarders have feelings for things they own. For example, a hoarder might feel saddened by the loss of a yogurt container going into the trashcan because he or she believes it would be "suffocated." Everyone feels attached to material things, but hoarders are adversely affected by it. They would rather continue living in difficult, unsanitary conditions than deal with getting rid of stuff. In addition, it takes them a long time to decide about throwing away something. In between the periods of decision-making, they collect more stuff that they have to think about. Often, family members interfere with the hoarders, and their time is wasted in attempts to convince the hoarder to get rid of more junk.
