Advice: Apartment building doesn't have recycling bins

Hi Brisbane! Hope this is appropriate for the sub, feel like our apartment building is leaving a dirty smudge on the planet and it’s breaking my heart. As the title suggests our apartment building of 12 units doesn’t have any recycling bins at all. Is this normal? We’ve talked to the body corporate gentlemen who cleans up around the place and he’s said that the recycling truck can’t stop on our street, however the neighbours next door have recycling bins.

They also stated that they wouldn’t be able to even start the process of getting my unsecured door rectified until at least Monday. I was pretty unimpressed with not only their lack of action, but also their lack of caring (I’m frequently away
