Seems like the dust and chips like to cling to the interior lining/surface of the bag.
Is there an easy way to clean the inside of the collector bag?

I have a cheap dust separator that sits on a 5 gal. bucket and works with my shop vac amazingly well. My problem would be with woodturning and planing. I would fill up a 5 gal. bucket pretty quickly. I guess I could find a larger drum but not quite a 55 gal.

.......... If your shop is not climate controlled you’ll be way better off exhausting outside............
Are you saying to use the Wen Dust Collector and instead of exhausting into the bag, just hook a 4" Dia. Hose and lead it to the outdoors? If so, that can be done with no problem.

Alternatively, could the hose from the dust collector be led to a cyclone with a large bucket?
