The present invention provides a dispenser for serially dispensing plastic bags from a wound roll of plastic bags. The dispenser includes a support member which is attachable to a support surface, a pivotable arm that can pivot between a roll-loading position and bag-dispensing positions, a braking surface to prevent freewheeling, a mechanism to prevent axial movement of the roll of bags on the pivotable arm, and a tongue positioned to engage an opening between bags while the bags are dispensed. A dispensing system combines the dispenser with a roll of plastic bags having an axial passageway through the center of the roll. The dispenser can dispense a wound roll of bags that has a core or is coreless. The sides of the core can be flush with the sides of the roll of bags, can extend from the sides of the roll of bags, or can have a combination thereof.

The apparatus of claim 12, further comprising at least one biasing element for biasing the contacting element against the stub roll to apply the force. 14. The apparatus of claim 12, further comprising at least one roll of wound sheet material for being placed in one of the first section and the second section, the sheet material being perforated. 15. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the outlet has a width narrower than a width of the sheet material. 16. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the sheet material comprises a web of wound sheet material having two side edges, a terminal end, and an initial end, the sheet material being divided into a plurality of individual sheets by a plurality of perforation tear lines including frangible bonds spaced along the tear line and extending from one edge to the other. 17. A system for dispensing sheet material from at least one roll of sheet material, the system comprising: a dispenser comprising a housing defining an interior and an outlet though which an end portion of the sheet material is dispensed; and at least two rolls of the sheet material rotatably positioned in the interior of the housing, the sheet material having a width of at least about 5 inches, wherein the system is capable of dispensing a single segment of the sheet material by a user grasping only the sheet material, and wherein dispensing of a single segment of said sheet material produces a maximum sound level below about 81 decibels. 18. The system of claim 17, wherein the maximum sound level is below about 79 decibels. 19. The system of claim 17, wherein the maximum sound level is below about 76 decibels. 20. A system for dispensing sheet material from at least one roll of sheet material, the system comprising: a dispenser comprising a housing defining an interior and an outlet though which an end portion of the sheet material is dispensed; and at least two rolls of the sheet material rotatably positioned in the interior of the housing, the sheet material having a width of at least about 5 inches, wherein the system is capable of dispensing a single segment of the sheet material by a user grasping only the sheet material, and wherein the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the maximum sheet material volume to the total enclosed volume of the dispenser is at least about 35%. 21. The system of claim 20, wherein the ratio is at least about 40%. 22. The system of claim 20, wherein the ratio is at least about 45%. 23. A system for dispensing sheet material from at least one roll of sheet material, the system comprising: a dispenser comprising a housing defining an interior and an outlet though which an end portion of the sheet material is dispensed; and at least two rolls of the sheet material rotatably positioned in the interior of the housing, the sheet material having a width of at least about 5 inches, wherein the system is capable of dispensing a single segment of the sheet material by a user grasping only the sheet material, and wherein the ratio of the ma
