Polyurethane is quite difficult to recycle and it depends on the council even if they have collection. Polyurethane is usually mechanical recycled which means it is converted into regrind then used as a filler back in the production of other Polyurethane products, for example the profile of a new car seat can have up to 20% regrind material in it.
However if your council does even collect or you find a Polyurethane collection scheme it will probably be used for energy recovery by incineration! Which is hardly recycling in some people views.

The element Plutonium (Pu) is generated in nuclear reactors. It can be extracted from spent fuel rods and chemically separated from the other materials - that is called reprocessing. Pu recovered in this way can be used (recycled) as fuel for reactors using the mixed oxide (MOX) fuel cycle.
See ref regarding MOX fuel cycle below.
