Error adding GameObject to list in class

I am having issues in adding a GameObject to a List<>. When I build this program an error occurs in poolInstances.Add(clone):

Error: List.Add(RecyclingGameObject) has some invalid arguments.

Error also occur on return clone; line:

Error: Cannot implicitly convert Gameobject to RecyclingGameObject

Here is my code: 

using System.Collections; 
using System.Collections.Generic;  
public class ObjectPool : MonoBehaviour { 

public RecyclingGameObjects prefabs;    

    private List<RecyclingGameObjects> poolInstances = new List<RecyclingGameObjects();  

    private RecyclingGameObjects createInstance(Vector3 pos){   
        var clone = GameObject.Instantiate (prefabs) as GameObject  ;       
        clone.transform.position = pos;         
        clone.transform.parent = transform;  

        poolInstances.Add (clone);      

        return clone; 
    } 
}

Replace 

var clone = GameObject.Instantiate (prefabs) as GameObject  ;

with

var clone = GameObject.Instantiate (prefabs) as RecyclingGameObjects;

Because you declared the list as RecyclingGameObjects, with List<RecyclingGameObjects> poolInstances, the object type to add to the list must be type of RecyclingGameObjects object not GameObject.
