    My Planet used to provide a nappy collection service in Melbourne, some councils used to help subsidise the cost. A couple of years ago they shut down due to excessive demand and were meant to start up again once they worked out how to cope with it all. I have not heard of them since and their webpage is no longer working. It was a good service, pity it has gone.

    From what I can remember the wood pulp was removed and the plastics. The plastics I think were used in recycled plastic outdoor furniture. The water used in the process was also reused.

    ETA: Just found this article on the closure
