No-one can possibly know. It all depends upon how much they are used, and also whether the Governments of the countries they are in bother to replace them when they wear out.

Many nations do not have a culture of recycling, most particularly the newly developed nations such as the Arab states, some Eastern European nations, Cyprus, parts of the Carribean, and so on. Thus their poulations don't bother to use them much, they just continue to carry on throwing out recyclable items with the rest of their refuse. After this has been going on for more than a certain period of time, the local authorities get despairing and just remove the bins, as they feel that their public will never learn and that trying to educate them into recycling is a waste of time.

Other countries are lax in their environmental policies and only adopted recycling programmes reluctantly- so when the bins wear out or get damaged, they take them away but don't bother to replace them. Pressure from international bodies and NGO's might force them to re-introduce recycling facilities, but then OTHER neighbouring nations might adopt the same attitude, so what has been replaced in one nation has been removed in another, and so on.

A rough estimate would say that there were at least a couple of hundred thousand recycling bins worldwide, but this number can change according to public usage of the facilities and the Government's attitude- it's a pretty fluid situation.
