There is actually a real-life term for this behavior: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disposophobia Disposophobia]] (the fear of throwing anything away) otherwise known as "compulsive hoarding". People who suffer from this condition basically think "But I might need it later" to a life-threatening degree ([[TooAwesomeToUse anyone who's played an RPG might relate]]). Or they're just too lazy/overworked/''sick'' to spend the umpteen hours needed to get the place together. (Disability is the number two cause, right behind compulsive hoarding, but young people seem to want to pretend that the disabled don't exist.) Either way, this trope is usually PlayedForLaughs in fiction.

* The trope name is the title of the 200th episode of ''TheSimpsons'' (in which, notably, {{U2}} guested) where Homer runs for sanitation commissioner and ends up filling the town with so much garbage that everyone must move five miles away. It should be noted, however, that the show has used this trope several times in episodes before its 200th one, such as:
** "War of the Simpsons" (when Bart and Lisa throw a house party and trash the house so bad that Grampa starts crying, only to learn that [[spoiler: Grampa faked it so he could make the kids feel sorry for taking advantage of him]]),
** "Homer Alone" (when Homer looks after Maggie while Bart and Lisa are at Patty and Selma's apartment and Marge is at a resort following an arrest for obstructing traffic),
** "Marge in Chains" (when Marge is put in jail and things get so bad that Homer is reduced to wearing Halloween costumes and when the kids try to clean up, they accidentally step on a man underneath the carpet who yells, "Hey, watch it!"),
** "$pringfield [or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling]" (when Marge is addicted to the slot machines at Burns' casino and the kitchen is a wreck, along with Homer's room when he's scared into believing the Boogeyman is coming after Lisa), and,
** "Home Sweet Home-Diddly-Dum-Doodily" (when Homer and Marge go to a spa and the Child Welfare officers find Grampa asleep on the couch, Maggie drinking from a dog dish with the sign "I'm A Stupid Baby" on her back [which was meant for Lisa in a previous scene], and Santa's Little Helper having sex with another dog on the dining room table [not seen, but implied, according to the list of offenses one of the Child Welfare officers gave to Marge]).
** In "Bart After Dark" Homer and Bart make 'garbage angels'.
*** There are also little examples that aren't tied to the plot from "The Simpsons," like the goats eating out of the trash Bart didn't take out on "Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie," the moose going through Homer's uncovered garbage in "New Kid on the Block," the polar bear going through the garbage in "Homer the Heretic," and the fawn gnawing on the chair in the messy living room on "The Springfield Files."

* In the WinnieThePooh cartoon series, one episode involves Christopher Robin having a messy room and stuffing all of his trash under the bed rather than cleaning his room properly. The plot gets interesting when Christopher Robin and the other characters [[DownTheRabbitHole find that the space under the bed is a whole world of its own; that they are trapped there until they can find a way out]], and that this world underneath the bed is not only [[DownInTheDumps a real dump]], but also the domain of a hostile BlobMonster who thrives on dirt and wishes to spread all his dirtiness throughout the world.

* In "The Margrave Ritual", Watson grumbles about SherlockHolmes' tendency to fill their shared flat with stacked papers and oddly-placed personal items, not to mention shooting decorative holes in the wall. Subverted in that Holmes actually ''does'' have "a system" -- at least, he can swiftly lay hands on any document he needs -- and his accumulated bric-a-brac at least isn't the sort of stuff that decomposes.
