Answer 1

You are collecting what artists call found objects! Maybe you could make something out of them.

Answer 2

Yes, I sounds like some kind of compulsion. Maybe when you go out take a bag with you so when you pick things up you can throw the garbage away and do a good deed also.

Answer 3

I have to agree with Ostego. When I did this I was very young and it was steming through emotions I was having , but did not how to interpert it. There is a disorder called OCD. I am sure you can google it in and take a self test.
Hope I helped
