Paper/ plastic bags for sorting recycling in kerbside box?

Hi everyone
Our town has now gone plastic bag free - which is of course great The only problem is that the kerbside recycling people insist that we sort all our recycling into different plastic bags in the box. Now we don't get many plastic bags from shopping any more, I'm looking for an alternative. Does anyone know a source of strongish recycled paper bags, or maybe degradable plastic bags (though I'm never completely convinced that they are OK)? Or some other suggestion? The bags get taken away with the recycling so I can't use anything like a box with different compartments. Thanks!

What a bizarre situation as surely the whole town is in the same boat.

I;d ring the council and say now th town is plastic bag free - what do they suggest?

sainsburys do quite a good range of de gradable plastic bin liners.
