I would totally be a hoarder if it were not for the fact the local government gives us 6 cube metres of "free" curb side bulk rubbish pick up each year. If you don't use them, you lose them. Obviously I'm paying for these through council tax rates so I make a point of using them up. These give me a chance to, and crucially, force me to make decisions about junk to get rid of. Another part of the hoarder condition is that often stuff you board does actually become useful again, I'm regularly coming across things in the house that need fixing or batteries replaced and a quick look around the workshop or in the dedicated junk draws and I can usually find the thing I need. This reinforces the habit. But back to my point, can I suggest you supply your mom with a rubbish pick up a few times a year, rent a trailer or skip and drop it off to be filled for taking to the dump. The time based urgency should help make some decisions. I also wouldn't have let her wait to look that up, I would have looked it up on the spot. Putting things off is a good way to lose the war.
