Are you talking huge garden waste bags or kitchen bags for food scraps. At my home in Richmond we use food scrap biodegradable bags (or none, just slop the waste into our large green bin). And garden clippings go straight into the large green bin (very large, we've never filled it). Our neighbors often use the large brown paper garden trimming bags (not in a green bin) and never had an issue. They have to be paper compost bags, NOT the green plastic "biodegradable" bags
Edit: """Place yard trimmings into your Green Cart along with your food scraps. (Extra yard trimmings can go in large paper yard waste bags or additional labeled Green Cans.) Please note that plastic bags including compostable/biodegradable plastic bags are NOT accepted."""
