Hi there,
3 Cardboard boxes would do the job taped together. or make a timber crate to hold the bags. You could always board them in and even decorate them, Add a lid on hinge or loose. It is really up to you how built in they become!
They can be made from crates, totes, etc. Here's a link:

We built one using the grass catcher off our riding lawnmower. Be creative and use recycled material to make your recycling center.
The unit has 3 removable mesh bags. Hubby just attached that to the side of our handrails on the patio.
