The correct answer was Switzerland. According to aneki.com, they recycle an astonishing 52% of their waste. Hopefully other countries step up and follow their path.
Here is a table including the top 7 countries in order:
| Country | Percentage of Waste Recycled | |
| 1 | Switzerland | 52% |
| 2 | Austria | 49.7% |
| 3 | Germany | 48% |
| 4 | Netherlands | 46% |
| 5 | Norway | 40% |
| 6 | Sweden | 34% |
| 7 | United States | 31.5% |
As you can see it was dominated by European countries. I hope to see Canada in the list next year.
I will have another poll started in a few days. I'll try to make a new one on the first day of every month so keep checking back.

According to statcan.gc.ca, Canada recycled about 27% of their waste in 2004. That number probably improved since then.
