I can't get him to throw any papers away. Nothing! We've had our biggest fights over me throwing away old papers that didn't amount to anything. Outragious! He doesn't throw anything away and is constantly buying things he never uses.
PS: ONE possible "solution" to that kind of thing, is to sacrifice a room for "all his junk". he can keep that room as messy as he wants... so long as he mostly keeps the door closed if you ever have company, and he keeps "his junk" in THAT ROOM. If he runs out of space in it... then either he has to stop buying new stuff, or he has to throw stuff away.
Just a thought, while I remembered.
Meanwhile... back to your "3 things"?
