In Sweden prices is often without VAT (25%) if Business to Business but Business to Consumer must show the price with VAT included. (E.g. normal shops)
Builder Merchants often show without tax, since mostly comapnies and professionals buy there, same with accessories and computer stuff cataloges sent to companies.
As for recycling, Sweden seems to be totally different to America. Most people recycle their cans or bottles in machines that can be found at most big shopping centers/super markets and you get a refund for the recycling fee.
