I'd much rather my neighbor with 4 kids and 2 dogs to have to pay more for garbage collection than my girlfriend and I. Every week, we have a full barrel of recyclables and half a barrel of garbage. My neighbors put 3 barrels of garbage on the curb every single week and don't recycle a damn thing.
I think the bag or tag method is far better than taxing each household. With a bag or tag method, people pay for what they use and have an incentive to (excuse the cliche) reduce/reuse/recycle.
It doesn't make any sense to me for a widowed grandmother who might have a small shopping bag worth of garbage/week to pay the same amount for trash collection as a family of 6.
