More mania….. bibliomania
Bibliomania is an obsessive-compulsive disorder involving the collecting of books to the point where social relations or health are damaged. The purchase of multiple copies of the same book and edition and the accumulation of books beyond possible capacity of use or enjoyment are frequent symptoms of bibliomania.

So, does bibliomania apply to unbound papers, as well? In other words: general paper clutter?

If it affects your relationships or your health it could but I think that might be called hording.
Either way…… It was just a tree ……… set it free!

Maybe not, but it leaves a nasty rash, and may induce punning.
