I suspect that the time, energy, and resources required to try to recycle are worse for the environment than not recycling.
For everything but metals. Plastics and glass have limited recycling value because they lose valuable physical properties once they are remelted into new products. Paper biodegrades relatively quickly so it's only worth recycling into post-consumer content where it adds value as cheap bulking agent. Metals are infinitely recyclable and can be processed in such a way as to be cost effective.
