Singular or Plural form of adjective after a list?

Singular or Plural form of adjective after a list?

votes

When you have a list of nouns, and you want to describe them all with a single adjective, would this adjective be in singular or plural form? For example:

Hay bolsas y envases de plástico, papel y aun comida, tirado en el suelo,

Would tirado be tirado or tirados? Also, is it affected by the fact that 'comida', just before it, is singular?

Thanks in advance

Yo diría "...... todos tirados al suelo". Si todos los sustantivos fueran femeninos, diría ".... todas tiradas al suelo.".
