Q: I'm very sorry,could you throw out the garbage? Does this sound natural?
A: This sounds natural, but in America people usually have a small trash bin inside their houses and a large trash bin that sits at the curb for the dumpster trucks to pick it up so if you are asking someone to throw out the garbage from inside this sounds natural, but if you are emptying the inside bin into the outside bin it sound more natural to say "I'm very sorry, could you take out the trash?" rather than saying can you throw it out as it would be more common. If you need more clarification I can help or reword this if I doesn't make sense.
