Who Carries The Garbage Out at Your House?

In some households there's a specific person who is in charge of garbage. In other households there's a rule where whoever filled up the bag last carries it out to the garbage can. In probably yet some other households the garbage just piles up and nobody takes it out. Hubby is in charge of both trash and garbage in our household. He empties the trash cans into the garbage can twice a week or as needed and he also rolls the garbage can out to the curb on Thursdays for the garbage truck. Who's in charge of trash at your house?

all the people who live in the house, so when it is not transported we complain about the number of flies.

My daughter does the hauling to the curb for our weekly pick-up but we both fill up the cans when it's needed.

I am the one who takes out the trash to be picked up by the city sanitation department.

99.9% of the time it's my job, as well as taking out the bins for pickup as well as the recycling. When I head out the door I usually like to shout, "Yakkety yak!"

In our household it's just anyone but in my household with my kids, I made it a habit where my kids take turns and it's so peaceful.
