Are these some sort of biodegradable bag?  Usually the last thing they 
want is plastic mixed with paper.

In my area there are two accepted methods. One is to use a recycling 
container which is nothing but a squared plastic bucket or put the 
newspaper out in  brown paper bags.

If you have that much paper maybe you can pay a fee to have the truck 
make a special stop and just toss it all in at one time? That might even 
be less expensive and simpler because you wouldn't need to buy or fill bags.
