I have at least one paper bag per item collected (i.e. Paper, plastic, etc...). However, I keep them in my garage until collection morning. It certainly creates clutter.
I also suspect that it is extremely difficult for the collection people on mornings like yesterday when it rained so hard. All the bags get soaked and likely rip when they pick them up to put them in the trucks. That must add time to the frustration. I look forward to ideas. Tom Madden Lowry Hill REMINDERS: 1. Be civil!
