Re: What exactly is "cardboard" [recycling question]

I always put my recycling into paper bags but I also tie them up with string so the paper does not fall out or the bag come apart with the weight. They always get taken away.

Re: stuff in paper bags:

My theory as to why bags are disliked is that they are prone to split during handling and the pieces of paper can fly everywhere, both on the street during collection, and later at the processing plant. There isn't the incentive to flatten paper out when using a bag, and maybe that makes processing more difficult.
