Landlord In Tennessee Refusing To Provide Trash Pick Up?

Card image cap

location: Tennessee

recently rented an apartment. the lease only says that trash must be disposed of in the appropriate receptacle weekly, I've checked. texted my landlord a couple days after my move in day about there not being a trashcan outside, thinking it had been misplaced or something before I moved in, as they were doing repairs for a couple weeks.

landlord said contact the city to receive one. asked the city, city previously had a dumpster and the landlord wouldn't allow them access to dump it, so I was told to tell the landlord such. called landlord back and got told there is no dumpster or trash can and I have to take the trash to the dump myself. I do not have a car and cannot easily do this.

this is a complex with 5 units. is this not illegal in TN? is there anything I can do or say about it, or am I just completely screwed? because this feels like it goes against that habitability thing, and when I tried to look it up, I got something about § 66-28-401(3), but I don't know if that's right, and what I'm supposed to do
