A common myth about recycling: not everything can be recycled.

It is true that we cannot recycle organic waste to make anything useful, but nature uses organic waste in order to keep the ecosystem going. Such a system has kept this planet alive for many millions of years. They say coal and oil are not recyclable. Certainly this may be true in our lifetimes, but if coal and oil takes many millions of years to form, then certainly coal and oil are recyclable and replenishable, but it will take many millions of years to do so.
