It's a typical feature of Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (different from OCD).
But somebody could hoard things and not necessarily have that disorder.

Hoarding or pack rat. It is a kind of obsessive compulsive disorder. Though I know some who do this that also suffer anxiety or who are socially withdrawn (schizoid personality disorder).

The pack-rat syndrome is in the category of obsessive compulsive disorders, I would imagine. (OOCD)
