any errors?

(a) Who did it pay repeated visits to the islands before the arrival of Europeans in the eighteenth century?

(b) There were a lot of benefits to recycle the cell phones although they were no longer useful as phones.

(b) I think 'recycle' should be 'recycling' because 'to' is a preposition here.
But I don't see any errors in (a). Would you tell me which part?
