A minor issue between us

Dh is more of a hoarder type. I like things to be uncluttered. We have had this problem since we moved in together that goes like this: He lets mail, flyers and receipts sit in a pile for weeks on end. I start sorting through it and he's immediately right there going through what I put in the recycling, and it drives me nuts. So I say nicely either let me do this please or start sorting the mail yourself. He says ok and then it builds up. Start cycle again. I try doing it when he isn't home. If he sees stuff in the recycling bin or the can outside he will pull it out and look at it. His dad has a business and his desk is coveted with six inches of mail and papers. I told FIL I was going through our old files and shredding old stuff and he looked at me like I was insane. It's obviously deeply rooted in him that junk mail, grocery receipts and flyers are important. Any ideas? I seriously can't sit with him like a counselor on Hoarders and ask "is this receipt for chips with coupons you will never use important? Can we part with this?" Because I will lose my mind! Lol.
