What is Recycle Bin in sharepoint?
SharePoint has introduced a new feature called Recycle Bin to keep the deleted items, documents. Speciality of this feature is we can easily restore the accidently deleted items and files from the Reycle Bin. 

Recycle Bin Stages:
SharePoint supports two levels of Recycle bin. The initial or First level Recycle bin comes into picture when the user deletes an item from a list. Once the item is deleted again from the First level of Recycle bin it moves to the second stage of Recycle bin.
1st stage, known as the “end user recycle bin”
2nd stage, known as the “deleted from end user recycle bin”.
2nd stage Recycle Bin has a setting of site quotas for space limitations. If it reaches its quota limit, older items will be overwritten. If you are not enabled site quotas then 2nd stage recycle bin will have no space limitations.

Use the 2nd Stage Recycle Bin to define how long deleted items will stay in the site collection's Recycle Bin that only the administrator can use (Default: 50 percent of the disk quota for the web application. For example, if you have allotted 1000 MB of space for the web application, SharePoint will add 50 percent more (i.e., 500 MB) to that quota (a total quota of 1500 MB) to be used for the second-level Recycle Bin. When this limit is exceeded, the oldest items will be removed from the second stage Recycle Bin.
Note: First stage of Recycle Bin available at site level and only one Second Stage Recycle Bin available per Site Collection.

Below IMP points should keep in mind ever:
  1. The Site Recycle Bin feature is newly introduced in Service Pack 1 from SharePoint 2010, if you haven't installed ServicPack 1 for your SharePoint 2010 when you deleted the site collection; you need to restore the content database.
  2. The Recycle Bins can contain multiple copies of a document that each have the same file name and source. These documents cannot be restored over an existing copy of a document.
  3. The Recycle Bins cannot be used to recover previous versions or accidental overwrites of documents.
  4. Turning off the Recycle Bin for a Web application empties all Recycle Bins and permanently deletes all items in them and can only be restore from a backup.
  5.  If you have not enabled site quotas, the 2nd stage recycle bin will have no space limitations.
