How many times a day do you take her out?

You could try increasing that... take her out a few more times a day... if
she has no problem going when she's out, you might be able to prevent the
"accidents" simply by preventing her from stockpiling the materials, so to
speak.  If nothing else it will give you time off cleaning up after her
while you look for a solution to the underlying problem.

Unfortunately, I can't really suggest a reason for or a solution to the
behavior.. just a stop-gap measure for in the meantime.
