Oh gosh. You really are stuck.
Hugs. My in-laws got stuck with a huge bill (this is going back a decade) for a “recycling center” when the HOA decided that the town system (one big garbage can, one smaller recycling can for mixed recyclables) was "unsightly. HOA chose the vendor (noncompetitive bid I’m sure) and everyone had to pay for some stupid and ugly shed which barely had room for the town mandated cans. But once the sheds were installed you could get cited for having anything outside the shed-- like a securely tied stack of newspapers, in recyclable twine.
Lots of teeth grinding and no recourse… so I feel you!
