Electronics are generally recyclable, that is not something speciofic to IoT devices. More specifically, your IoT device will typically provide a general purpose MCU.

Recycling an MCU is generally feasible. Even if the bootloader is locked down, you may be able to wipe the entire device using JTAG. It is debatable how much value there is in re-using a several year old device, but the hardware should be viable for 5-10 years.

Performance, security protocols, wireless protocols etc. would be the factors which would lagg behind. You would also be working with a much more physically constrained platform than a small dev-board would provide.

Generally, it will not be feasible to re-purpose the original firmware, even if this was open-source derived - there may be missing configuration details or drivers. You should plan on findind or writing the whole stack (but this may be a valuable learning exersise). There may be server-side code which would also not be re-usable.
