Scavenging old Ships

[Noobton]

Is there any mod that let me scavenge my old floating satellites and debris for resource? my google-fu has let me down so far

Extra planetary launchpads mod. Has recyclers though due to the hassle of rockets, it's only worthwhile on other planets. I plan to do the same thing near jool. 

Mod mines ore, turns it to rocket parts, and turned that to ships. The recyclers turns ships back into rocket parts.

EPL is a great suggestion for this. I used it in the past and it works great.

Instead of recycling 'debris' into resources there is another option. With KIS/KAS you can (dis)assemble ships in orbit. A debris lab (left over from a rescue contract) for example can be captured with a claw and brought to a space station. Once there an engineer can attach it and make it a permanent and functional part of your station.

The question then becomes, is it worth it to fly all over the kerbin system instead of just lifting up what you want?  It makes more sense for throwaway rockets that docked with your station. Instead of recovering it, you recycle it. Then build a new thing which saves you another launch.
