This is the second season I have had a mother robin return to the exact location to build her nest (in branches of a fir tree). She successfully had three babies and they grew to fledglings. I left the nest intact once the birds were gone. In about a week, I noticed that the inside of the nest had been smoothed out with soft dry grass and then before I knew it, there was another blue egg. The next day there was a second and then a third little egg. So amazingly, the same robin and her mate who hang out in near the deck of our yard have had yet another clutch in the same nest in the same season! Its very exciting and the male and female robin have definitely grown quite comfortable in this location.

depending on the time of year and what the habitat/food supply is like, it may get used for a another brood. Other than that it could house mice, bees, other creepy-crawlies, and ultimatley it will decay and disintegrate.

Yes, they will, they will also build new nests on top of old ones, including old nests of other bird species.
