This was a term coined by SBW and I. Recycleable refers to the passing down of individuals for the purpose of dating. When you're in at least your mid-20s and have been in the dating scene for a while, you will most likely meet a friend who has also gone on a few dates with some guy you dated or were interested before in some time of your life.
Example #1: Back in 2006, John & Carrie had gone on a few dates - nothing serious, just no connection. Later, while on the topic of guys, Carried realized that Charlotte may hit it off with John. Since it was nothing serious, she passes John down to her friend Charlotte.
Example #2: When John & Carrie were trying to set their friend Steve up with Samantha, it just didn't work out. Next they set Steve up with Charlotte, didn't work out... then Miranda. (Steve is a recycleable because he's been passed down the chain).
When does recycling not work? When you and an ex were in a serious relationship for a while, unspoken law - that person cannot become a recycleable for your friend. This only applies to not so serious "let's get to know each other and see if we connect" dating. (For example, Charlotte can never date Mr. Big, even while Carrie was happy with Aidan).
