Liners/bags in the kitchen and bathrooms because the stuff that gets tossed in is frequently wet and will stick to the can if it goes directly in, which means I'd have to touch it to get it out and...ewwww! No liners in the other rooms because pretty much everything that gets tossed in them is dry (tissues, shrink wrap from DVDs, dryer lint, etc.). All of the stuff in the other cans slides out in to the big bag that goes out to the curb without me having to touch it. And the big bag is usually the 1/3 full kitchen bag that only goes out weekly because it tends to start stinking.
I don't trash pick, mostly because the stuff that there is around here to trash pick is usually the leavings of someone's apartment eviction and the people who toss it to the curb are never gentle. Plus, at this point, I've got so much STUFF in the house that I don't need anything else to bring in.
Composting...given how anal and obnoxious the HOA is, they'd probably flip if I put a composting bin out back. "That's against the rules that we just made up and didn't tell you about! You must remove it immediately or we will fine your ass because we like picking on you!" My next place will NOT have a HOA and I will definitely compost then.
