Well, good luck finding a vendor to actually recycle in the way your thinking about, BUT, I save ANYTHING that remotely looks like a scale board, grate, handrail, Junkpile, Railing, etc etc. First I save Everysingle last box of any thing that is going to be created. Stock car, Engine, Model. I never use everything that comes in the box, cuase I do a lot of kitbashing or fitting. Anything not used, stays in that box and then put in it proper place on the storage shelves. I never need to buy detailing parts. For items that I just cant find a place for , I have 2 small toolboxes I bought from Ace hardware that are about 10x 5 inches. Inside these are anything that is found that I did not use at the time. there is everything from piece of plaster that looks like a rock to the bases of trees and even feet from people that i had to cutoff to put inside a cab. I used the feet once in a Garage scene I made on the layout. <br />I throw away everything that is worthless. Mostly everything that can be sucked up from a vacuum is trash or broken parts! Very good question and even with all this i do, I STILL HAVE A LOAD OF TRASH AFTER A LARGE PROJECT< lol! so, Go figure!
