Understand your problem but have no solution to offer. You have to do what is required to make the property safe. Guarantee if he is left to his own devices, the place will return to the same state in a few years.

I hear ya. My job is to safe the house for the old man. He's a super nice guy, just has this illness that he can't realize. I am not looking for a solution (thanks for the thought) but really see if any of you out there has any insight on how to go about dealing with it. Stuff goes into the dump, and this 75 year old guy risk life and limb goes inside and gets it back and put the same trash in a different place.
