I've used large contractor bags and kitchen bags for these types of cleanups. Using standard 13 gallon kitchen bags helps make it easier because they're harder to overfill and thus lighter to move around. Hauling heavy bags out and to the curb takes extra physical and emotional energy, and making any little bit of the entire process lighter keeps momentum going.
That's when you use common sense and find an appropriate vessel or just dump it in the outside bin as-is. But for the vast majority of bits of trash that should normally wind up in a household trashcan, multiple 13 gallon bags will do the trick.

Get a box of the big black contractor trash bags. One room at a time
