i cannot possibly express how much of a gigantic pain in the ass this is; it’s making more more slovenly than i want to be because it’s such an inconvenience to throw stuff away.
like should i buy a hand truck? that wouldn’t help for garbage bags

You don’t. That’s wholly at the discretion of whatever investment firm owns your apartment complex. I’ve never lived in an apartment that worked any other way.
They might be under the impression that people are buying these apartments instead of renting them, and then there’s some sort of HOA that covers those things.
It doesn’t matter if you buy or rent. At least here you always have an apartment union that all residents are a part of, it’s required. Like if you want a water filter installed to the general water intake or want a bike rack in front of the building you ask the union and they bring it up during a meeting so if the budget allows for it they’ll put it on a vote. Like how else would you get like a bike rack or a garden for your building?
You ask the owner, and then accept it will never happen.
Oh wow, that sucks. I’m pretty sure an apartment union is a requirement here and I have never had a different experience either. Like we have a general trash area in front of the apartment building, like 4 trashcans for different kind of trash with a tiny building around it that’s maintained by the union and the trash there gets emptied once a week.
I guess it’s good to say where you are if asking for advice.
