Thankfully my country has a deposit system for cans and bottles (except for strong alcoholic drinks for some reason. Beer has deposit, wine, vodka etc do not)
Most cans get recycled. There's even hobos looking in communal garbage bins for recyclable containers because although there's not a lot of money in it, it gets them what food banks don't.
I think most of Europe does this but in the rest of the world I'm not sure how much gets recycled or not
Unfortunately some developing countries have problems with waste segregation and disposal, especially those with cultures where their packaging was then organic (paper bags, banana leaf wrappers, etc. for food) before being replaced by plastic-based packaging, so with little to no convenient places to dispose their trash properly, it ends up almost everywhere. That some balk at segregation, believing they don't want to be inconvenienced.
This is sometimes done on a state by state basis in the US. Execution varies between states too, some states have it so if you sell stuff in bottles and cans you must also be able to accept returns, whereas other states you have to take them to a special facility which no one does except the hobos you were mentioning.
