New England rural town. We have a membership to our local landfill. DH goes once a week as part of his errands. Sometimes I tag along. If he is away, I go myself. It’s really easy, and tons of people in our town do the same.
Putting trash out for pick up is just feeding the bears and raccoons these days…and makes a huge mess!
Just me here and since I live in a condo, it’s a short walk to the trash chute on my floor.
In the spirit of the thread though, I will mention that as a UK grad I enjoy following Ellen Calipari on Instagram (@cal_mrs). The major theme of her account is documenting Coach Cal getting their trash to the curb each week, except when he is on the road. He used to be accompanied by their little dog, Palmer, but they recently lost the dog. She seems to be a real stitch if her Instagram runs true to life.
We live in suburb in Honolulu. H does most of the trash and dishwashing. I do most of the cooking and shopping and social calendaring. He does repairs and yard work. I pay at all the bills and do all the investing.
When he’s busy I do the trash & recycles and some yard work. He also can do shopping if he’s given a list and instructions.
Our AZ HOA restricts garbage and recycle bins to the curb no earlier than 5PM the evening before pickup day, and they must be pulled back behind your bin gate by 7PM on pickup day. Either DH or I put them out and/or pull them back as we think of it, no assigned responsibility.
In ME, we do not have trash pickup. We have to take garbage and recycle to our local transfer station. DH usually does it about once every two weeks on days he’s either going in that direction anyway or has construction debris to drop off that requires the trailer. I do it sometimes but not if it requires the trailer.
My husband takes out the trash/recycling and brings the cans in. We have never once discussed it or any other chore. We just fell naturally into what we do….mostly but not exclusively along gender lines.
Him:
Takes garbage and recycling out and cans to curb
Loads and empties dish washer
Gets gas for car and takes in for all maintenance (I have never gotten gas for my car)
Sweeps when necessary ( we have weekly cleaning service)
Me:
Laundry
Grocery Shopping
Meal Prep (but no complaints if I say we are ordering in or going out…he’s happy with whatever)
Clean counters if necessary (in between cleans from cleaning service)
House stays pretty tidy. I don’t allow paper outside the entry way of my home (paper is the enemy of tidy)
Neither of us(we hire this out):
Lawn maintenance
Shoveling Snow
Gutter cleaning
Most real cleaning
Handyman type stuff
Because it’s not that difficult, anyone at our home may roll the bins to the curb and back to our home. Sometimes the kids have done it but mostly H does it and sometimes I do it. When it’s full and heavy, H does it more than the rest of us.
We’ve lived in the South, Mid-Atlantic and New England. No assigned chore. Whoever is available, takes the trash can out and back in.
I take out the trash 99% of the time and my wife cooks. Traditional roles but have you ever tasted my cooking? Lol. I also do all the fixing stuff.. Midwest
We did the same thing with our D’s. But they are all grown now. I do the garbage -gather, take out, retrieve can and take recycle to the recycling place. We are gender neutral- we each do the chore the other one does not want to do which usually is the one you don’t mind doing. For instance H cooks and I do clean up and dish washer.
I used to joke that doing big projects were hard for our family… because heck we could hardly remember to get the trash out on Wednesday night. Now the kids are gone, but we have the city utility app to send us a reminder text. The reminder includes indication of it is biweekly recycle week (or compost).
Trash is a little tricky at my house. We live at the bottom of a steep hill on a private driveway, so we have to haul the garbage to the top. Sometimes I walk it up by hand, which is a great workout, but often we attach it to the back of our car. I do it far more often than my husband, I think, mostly because he’s always busting his butt around our house or my mom’s, so it’s the least I can do.
Yes, same with us. The person who hates the chore the least is the one who ends up doing it.
I would normally do this because I’m picky about how it gets sorted (we have landfill, paper recycling, plastic-metal-glass recycling, and compost) but I’m a weak fragile chemo patient right now, so my loving wonderful husband is doing it, and I am thankful but have to bite my tongue when I see how it’s all sorted wrong wrong WRONG 
Pacific Northwest here, north east of Seattle.
Chores inside the house I absolutely hate to do: replenishing TP rolls, garbage can liners, etc. That’s on Mr. even I’m the one using the last sheet of TP. No idea why… I just hate doing that. My husband would not touch a vacuum cleaner other than repairing it. When he was a kid, his older sister made him do all vacuuming so he hated that. Traumatized for life 
Regarding trash cans, usually it is Mr. who wrangles them down our long driveway on Sunday nights while I pack the dishwasher like a Tetris pro. I bring them back most of the time. If Mr. is traveling, I do the trash can round trip.
Both of us take trash and recycling out, and both bring it up. It’s on h’s “list” of things to worry about the day before, and if I don’t do it he will likely do it. We live in the mid-Atlantic.
Dh usually takes the trash out from the house to the rolling bin in the garage. He always takes it and the recycle bins out to the curb the night before. The recycling is picked up before he leaves for work. The regular garbage is not, so I roll the empty bin back.
I do most everything else around the house: laundry, grocery shopping, cleaning, and meal prep. Dh helps with clean up after dinner, but ours is really a one-butt kitchen, and I’m just much faster at it. We’re in a townhome, so our small yard is taken care of by the HOA.
But, dh works, and I don’t, which has been the case most our marriage. When we both worked, he did more around the house. When we had a larger home, we had a housekeeper (which I miss). Dh and ds did the yard when we had a larger home, but we eventually got a yard service as well. Dh pays the bills and handles most of the finances. He occasionally unloads the dishwasher. When he retires, I’ll want him to step up helping around the house.
In terms of other chores, I also do almost everything around the house and the yard with the exception of ironing and killing bugs. I have an irrational fear of all creepy crawlies and will only do it if I’m alone (and then I empty 1/2 can of stuff to make sure it’s really dead). H handles the finances/bill paying/investing because he loves that stuff. H also is responsible for cleaning and replacing things that are up high as he’s 13 inches taller than I am.
When the kids were little we lived in a city where bins were always sitting on the alley, and it was about 50-50 who took the full bags out. Eventually kids started helping. No need to take bins out because they were always out.
Current city is one where we have to take bins out to curb. I’m so thankful no one cares if they are out the night before, because I think we are at the beginning of the trash route and it must get picked up about 6-7am. For a long time it was a kid chore to take them out. I’m usually doing it now, but sometimes a kid does it.
Ditto for trash/recycling going out to garage. Kids are busier and home less, so I’m doing it more. It’s maybe 75% me or kids/25% husband. I notice full bags/recycling more now because currently I’m doing most of the cooking.
Anyhow else have chores that have changed? For us, I made the bed 7 days/week for seemingly forever - 15-20 years? Then H started doing it during the week. Then he took it over completely - saying I don’t do it right, lol. Fine! Now sometimes he leaves it for me, but that’s pretty rare - except when stripping the beds and having to completely remake it. That’s my job.
Deep cleaning the kitchen. Always my task until we had ours renovated in 2016. Then he started doing it every 1-2 weeks, then every 1-2 months. Now it’s just when the kids come back to visit. But still - I don’t do it like he does.
He does all yard work - which I despise. Except leaf raking. I like that. In our old house, I did 90% of it - and that involved multiple 4-6 hours stints… This house is tons easier. Takes about 45 min a pop and we both will do it.
I do almost all the inside house cleaning.
He is a master at putting in the trash can liners. When I do it, it looks like a preschooler did it. He changes the light bulbs because I don’t care if I sit in the dark. I also can’t plunge a toilet, but I have started trying… and occasionally it works! Maybe I’ll get it down when I’m 80.
I also am 100% in charge of taking care of the boiler - draining/dumping the water and calling the repair person when it breaks. Pretty much all calling/waiting for repair people falls on me, despite me being the primary breadwinner our whole lives together. I’m also the tech person. Anything to do with a TV/Computer/Internet/Phone falls on me 110%. I loathe tech problems!
Dishwasher is a shared activity. Neither of us likes it to sit unemptied. We load as we go
In our 30 years of marriage we have always divided chores up mainly by who has more bandwidth. Over the years my some jobs have entailed long hours. She picked up the slack back then. I am now returning the favor as my wife’s new job is tough here in the beginning with some long hours. So given the fact I can work from home 1-2 days a week I picking up plenty of the chores like laundry.
I would say losing the two kids and now being empty nesters was an even trade on the chores. Our kids always did chores. Like I didn’t deal with the dishwasher for like 16 years, but with them gone the mess and been reduced as well.
