Why is the dumpster so far? Don’t every building have to have a place for trash? If not can’t you just talk to the apartment union to get one? That’s a pretty standard thing for apartment unions.

How do you decide to do renovations or hire cleaning for the general purpose areas in apartments without one?

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.

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.

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.

You don’t. All of that is at the sole discretion of the management company that owns your complex. You have very little say in what the actual complex looks like, or what kinds of amenities it has. Your only real recourse is to break your lease (which can often cost 3-5x your monthly rent) and move to a different complex with the amenities you want.
Welcome to America. Where tenant rights are nearly non-existent and everyone is anti-union because of literal generations of propaganda.
