It's the same in my EU country (at least for single family homes, I don't know about apartments)

The private companies are contracted by the municipalities and I don't think you can legally avoid paying the garbage collection tax/fee.

Afaik they don't give you the option of dealing with your own trash, because that would mean a lot more trash in the forest.

Well obviously someone is paying for garbage collection, I just think a lot of people are used to having it be paid for over tax, so that you don't have to think about remembering to pay your quarterly $85 fee lol.
