It is very application dependent and specific. What could be useful in one
situation may be harmful for other cases.
In our dev environment, applications drop/recreate tables on a regular basis.
Some of them are done by the regression tests, thousands of objects/day.. So
all my dev/qa environments have recyclebin turned off.
Of course if someone does something accidentally, I can easily recover from
another copy of the dev databases (we have more than one dev/qa env).

I switch it off for:
- Development Database, especially with a full drop/re-create cycle via
automated deployment. "Hey, DBA's, why is login so slow?" "You have 100,000
tables in your recyclebin"
- If you had an ORA-600 or -7445 investigation, Oracle Support used to ask you
to turn it off (which is a restart). In 10G it was a major cause of the
ORA-600's. 11G Less so. Not seen it in 12C.
Oracle defaults are usually the best place to start. Change only to make things
better for a specific, defined and empirically provable reason (not because you
googled it and it seems to help).

We do.
What version are you on? I'm struggling to understand why you would disable
this feature now.

Do you use the recycle bin yes or no and why? We are considering disabling it
