How this Solution works

1. Collects the required Sites.
2. Add account as Site Collection Admin.
3. Collects the items from the selected recycle bin stage.
4. Try to restore items from recycle bin.
5. If File or Folder with same name exists on the original location:
   1. File/Folder on the original location can be renamed and try to restore file/folder from the recycle bin.
   2. Leave the file/folder in the recycle bin.
6. Records the information for each action in a CSV file.

The rename action is only supported for Files and Folders. Meanwhile List Items have no issue on having the same name, so restoration won't have such naming conflicts. Other objects such as List, Libraries and Subsites are not supported at the moment.
