It does at times seem like everyone falls under the category of "packrattus americanus". I now toss anything that hasnt been touched within 5 years, but like someone else said, due to Murphy's Law it does seem like once you do toss 10 items that have gathered dust for years, within a month either you or another family member then has a use for it.
And if it makes you feel better about filling a dumpster, Im doing a full remodel on a 120 yr old gothic revival house where we have now filled 5 large dumpsters, one of which contained 8.5 tons of plaster.
