The answer varies depending on the type of item being recycled, and of course it changes year by year, and again geographically thing vary greatly. For example recycling of copper is generally considered sesible world-wide, recycling of used shoes is not.

To determine whether recycling or not is the better good idea takes analysis of the 2 options to see which is more cost effective, which, if either, produces a pollution problem, which consumes less resources etc. Which is better can by no means be assumed, and will vary from one product to another.
