I think we all have various cleaning routines that make sense to us, and for goodness sakes, no one is going to know whether you took out the garbage in step one or step three., and it doesn't make a bit of difference as far as virus safety.
It's like those stupid articles you read on yahoo that tell you that you've been doing something wrong all your life, just because the writer of the article does it differently.
I've always removed the guest garbage and washed out the container as part of the whole cleaning process, then had a small bag to throw any garbage I created when cleaning, like paper towels, or empty cleaning product containers into, but that's just my own method.
