DC Woman Evicted From Home Was A Hoarder

WASHINGTON (By Sherri Ly, myfoxdc) - An eviction in D.C. turned into a bigger job than anyone could have ever expected. The woman being kicked out is a hoarder. What was in her home was enough to fill ten houses. All of it wound up piled up on both sides of her street and a block down another.

It took a small army to move it all. A moving company hauled away about half of it. The city loaded up seven dump trucks and took the rest to a storage facility.

"I've never, never, never seen anything like this in my life," said neighbor Rhonda Carter.
