[quote=Anonymous]Of course you can ask.  Just do it the way you would ask anyone to do something they don't really want to do:

1)  Describe the situation:  "Hey.  I agreed to take out the trash if it filled while I was here, but lately, the trash has been full every morning when I come in to work."
2)  Tell them why this is a problem for you:  "This means that I either have to take it out and leave your children alone inside, or I have to leave food and other garbage on the counter until I can take it out at naptime, which is kind of gross."  
3)  Ask them to do what you want them to do:  "Can you please take it out at night or before you leave for work in the morning?"  
4)  Tell them why it would benefit them:  "I would just feel a lot more comfortable that way, and it would be safer for your girls if I don't have to leave them alone at all."

Don't be sarcastic or passive aggressive.  Don't apologize or look at your shoes.

I also think an alternative is to just empty the garbage at naptime every day and leave it completely empty.  Then you walk in with it 2/3 full and fill it up the other 1/3 during your day.
