… that’s a nice image of good marriage, the little things that are done without thought but are greatly appreciated …
A single person is responsible for the whole process. The reason that works is because that person is not me. 
When the bathroom and kitchen trash bins are full, the bags are removed, tied and are taken outside to be deposited into the tote (which is emptied once a week), and the trash bin is then scrubbed, inside and out, with bleach and very hot water, dried, and a fresh trash bag is placed inside.
It doesn’t matter who takes the trash out, this MUST be done, or I’ll have a serious hissy-fit.

As for bedroom and laundry room trash bins, they are emptied when full, and new bags are put in.
I usually clean these small bins once a month, unless something unusually gross has been inside them, which would make me scrub them out immediately upon emptying.
I would not last very long in your world. More power to you, you…you, crazy clean person! 
Ah, but it’s sooooooo cleeeeeeeean when you do it that way, Brown Eyed Girl!
No gnats EVER, and no stink!
I must have my way in this respect.
I’m usually not too much of a clean-freak otherwise.
(Unless you count the toilet, shower and bathroom sink, but that’s another thread altogether!)
Absolutely. And in our house, I’m that guy: I change the cat’s litter box and bag the contents, collect trash from each room’s wastebasket, see to the recycling, carry kitchen trash outside as needed, and replace any bag liners. Just makes sense to have one person responsible for it all. And in the next few years, that person will probably be my eldest son.
It’s supposed to be done all by me, the male, but if the female doesn’t mind gathering up the trash it sure makes it easier on the trash hauler.
I pretty much take the garbage out, every aspect, from the inside pails to the pails to the street. I change the liners and keep the kitchen pail bleach washed when it starts looking bad.
The advantages are minor, but I tie a knot in the bag so it fits tightly and does not collapse into the pail. My wife usually forgets this when she does the liner.
The only disadvantage is that quite often, I will be pulling out the kitchen trash while my wife is cooking and she has actually complained about the missing liner. Once I pull the bag out, I like to get it right out of the house and then I do the liner on the way back.
This is just a part of the division of labor, my wife and I have worked out. We never put a lot of thought into the garbage outside of recycling.

Z.R. Test and I have a kind of Brownian motion approach to the trash. Whoever bumps into it and deems it full takes it all the way out. Granted, he tends to deem it full before I do, and sometimes I forget to redo the liners, but perhaps that’s offset by the fact that I’m the one who always remembers to take the bin to the curb on garbage night. The garbage is just a few steps from the door, so it wouldn’t make sense to leave it at the door.
Taking the old bag from the can, tyeing it off, taking it to the toter in the garage, and replacing the bag in the can is all one person’s job (now my oldest son’s), and really needs to be a single person’s job, to avoid the garbage-in-unlined-can problem.
Taking the toter out on garbage day is my job, but mostly because my son can’t lift the recycle bin when it’s full of newspapers. Once I’m doing that, I might as well do the glass/metal bin and wheel out the toter also.
