The money argument is legit. But other than that, I don't see the problem - if he likes having the stuff, let him keep it. It's not harming anyone (it's not like he's hoarding cats or rotting food or something like that), so it's not your lane to "stop it" or "acknowledge the problem" or whatever. I mean, you've made your opinion known, he's an adult with a different opinion and it's his stuff, so yeah.

I mean at some point it very well could turn into his problem specifically, and if it just gets worse between now and then, it becomes a bigger and bigger problem. And even before that, it could become a problem with the dad if money ever became an issue in the future and he's still paying for storage units of trash. Or if his hoarding tendencies grow, and so on.

"They like the stuff, just let 'em do what they want" is one of the worst possible approaches you can take with somebody that is showing hoarding tendencies because hoarding can blossom into a number of bigger problems.

EDIT: Now it's not Anagram's lane to trash the stuff himself, that much is true. But not speaking up and trying to take steps to get his dad to get rid of the stuff himself would be irresponsible.
