The landers are single use, though they do come back with the crew. The shuttles that get them to the moon as cargo are reusable. The ratio of distance covered by shuttles to landers is absurd, plus landers don't have to withstand takoff/re-entry conditions (high temperatures, atmospheric pressure, G-forces). And I'm talking about current shuttles, not the 60/70's single-use things.
