I was going to say we don't recycle satellites by launching them to the moon for the same reason we don't recycle things on earth by sending them to the other side of the earth, but we do actually do that by sending recycling in the US to China. The real barrier is cost - the delta v you need to shoot something to the moon is much larger than what you'd need to de-orbit something
