Mother Earth doesn't quite need our help to be alive and fine, and recycling cannot save us either. Our human race is about done... (i.e. run out of time to save our ass) so we're about to testify our own human life tragedy on planet Earth.....

Once humans get out of the way the planet will be fine, recycling just scratches the guilt itch.

Recently saw an episode of "Adam Ruins Everything" about this.  Even conscientious recycling by every human would be a drop in the bucket compared to the damage caused by the poisonous industrial, automotive, and energy by-products we introduce into the environment on a daily basis.  Couple that with our aggressive worldwide deforestation policies and recycling won't make any difference.  All that can stop our destructive trends is wholesale worldwide political change...not holding my breath.

it won't be enough to really save it, but it's definitely an obligatory step

but the best wastes are the ones that aren't getting produced/created/consumed

The planets ultimate demise will have nothing to do with us. There will be several massive die-offs of all organisms larger than a few hundred cells before the planet is eventually consumed by the sun's big flame out. 

What it might possibly accomplish is making the earth a little less crap filled for the time that we occupy it. That might be nice.

The more important question.. would renewable energy save the planet

No, but it will make us feel better about ourselves as we rush headlong towards utter destruction.

Obviously not, but as part of an extensive range of environmental strategies, it could be a small contributing factor in turning things around.

It's kind of a mixed bag.
 
Even though this article is from 2008, it's an interesting read from different angles:

Recycling is important in today’s world if we want to leave this planet for our future generations. The world population is growing, not shrinking, and currently each human being adds significant waste to the planet over his or her lifetime. I know that more and more building companies work with mobile screening & crushing machines. In such way it reduces unneccesary waste and saves money.

Most of the ecological destruction comes from captialism's wasteful practices and the military's of the world conducting destructive experiments. All of the problems have already been solved. They simply are not allowed to be implemented. Until these forces are reined in, the deeds of the average human are a drop in the bucket. Necessary but not enough

Earth will be fine for a few million years after the human race nukes itself to extinction.

The Earth is in no danger.

But in the sense that you mean it, no it won't.

I mean, no that alone won't do it but as part of a larger, more in depth change to how we live sure. 
Unless we've already sent the process of ruin past the point of no return in which case it don't matter :)
