It is not for me, it is for my uncle who "collects" everything like 6 lawnmowers that are broken, 6 sweepers etc. I know it is not obsessive compulsive disorder. I checked WebMD and found Compulsive Hoarder but there is supposed to be another medical term for it.

Hi! I believe the medical term for junk collector is Rustosis. Cheers.

Well, on Web MD, it says:
"You might call yourself a 'collector' or maybe even a 'pack rat.' But for the psychologists who study people like you, they'd probably label you a 'hoarder.' "

Compulsive hoarding. It probably does fall into the ocd category.
