Usually me. One of us gathers it all up but I usually carry the bags out because they can be quite heavy at times. When I've got bags of trash from the house project they can be heavier still. Sometimes I'm pushing my luck a bit with regard to how heavy a trash bag can be before the garbage men won't take it at all, although so far they always have.

I forget what the weight limit is exactly, but believe it’s above 200 pounds.

Me.

All these household tasks are laid out for us, quite specifically, in Hezekiah 14.

Nearly always me, but often my wife will roll the can back to its spot after the garbage truck collects it.

The trucks here use the mechanized arm to grab the county-provided can and dump it into the truck. I am not sure of the max weight, but I know it struggled a bit when I was doing a home demo project and loaded up that can!

Our garbage company has a limit of 40lb per bag. They don't enforce it rigidly. We have a contract for two bags, so as long as the two combined aren't over about 80lb we're good. Sometimes I think we push the limits a bit.

200lb is a hefty bag to carry out to the roadside. I've carried 200lb of material into the house on a hand cart, and it was a challenge to get it up the steps. I don't weigh a whole lot more than 200lb myself, so carrying something almost as heavy as me up steps is tricky.
