How much rubbish for collection does the average household generate?

It's rubbish collection day today and I note that my household and my 4
nearest houses on my side of the street put out a total of 6 general
rubbish sacks and 7 recycling sacks.

The 5 houses opposite put out 24 general rubbish sacks and 10 recycling
sacks (one household seems never to split rubbish for recycling).

The number of people on each side of this portion of the street is
nominally the same and the ratio of rubbish between the two sides of the
street is about the same every week and it's not just one household
making up the large difference in waste.
