First of all, I'd give it back the system and hidden attributes.
attrib +s +h recycler
The change may require the shell to be restarted (log off and back on).
In C:\recycler\, there should be a hidden/system subfolder with a name like
S-1-5-21-series-of-numbers.
In that folder there should be a file "Desktop.ini", also system+hidden.
Maybe it got deleted along with everything else? Try copying it from one
of the recycle bins on the other drives.
If the subfolder is missing, you can find its name in the registry: there's
a subkey with the same name under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Protected Storage System Provider
Or just go to HKEY_USERS: the key that starts with S-1-5-21 and does not
end with _Classes has the same name too.
[The name is in fact your user ID in windows' security system; there may be
more than one such subfolder in the recycle bin if more than one user
account is in use on your system.]
In case you don't find Desktop.ini, it only contains two lines for a
recycle bin:
[.ShellClassInfo]
CLSID={645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
