How can I get my mom to stop being a Pack-Rat?

In my house there is junk everywhere. Wherever there is a bit of empty space, there's crap piled there. On the coffee table, lots of crap, on the counter, more crap, in the garage, BOXES AND BOXES OF OLD OUTDATED UNUSEABLE GARBAGE! Even in my own room, my mom's old scrapbooking stuff is everywhere. Hole punches that punch out shapes of every kind are in the corner by my book shelf. She hasn't used any of this stuff for over 10 years or more, and it's driving me crazy!

So how can i persuade my mom to realize this stuff isn't going to ever be used, has no value, will just sit and gather dust, and to get her to let go of all this junk and throw it away?

( Even as I type, if i look the left, there is a dresser full of old clothes from the 1990s, that hasn't even been worn or looked at since then, The garbage amount is just that bad! )

Thank you for any help you can provide, and thanks for all your well thought answers and consideration.
