(2) US.
I know personally that Boston residents are not good at recycling, for lack of incentives and/or penalty. Households pay property tax to the city, which includes garbage disposal. When people do not pay for garbage disposal, they mix everything in a trash bag and throw it away.
In US, I have been to commercial (read private) centers for paper, bottle/can or scrap metal recycle. They are reasonably clean and have no odor.
