I haven't done this, but overheard a conversation at our local cloth diaper store with a couple planning to do it. The store clerk mentioned making sure to do a rinse at home (in the sink or toilet I guess?)before putting the soiled diapers in the communal machine, and doing an extra rinse after your wash too, but thats pretty normal for CDs. And that you may have to strip your diapers more often if the detergents others are using are not very clean rinsing.

Honestly, I wouldn't. It seems a little much to me.

@MrsClownfish: Is this a shared laundry that you already use? Like, do you know if there is often a wait, do people leave stuff in for a long time, will people take your stuff out if you don't get there right away?

I'm just thinking of my own shared laundry, where people, including a family with a baby or toddler, sometimes leave there stuff in the washer for a while and I have to take it out to put mine in (I wait a good half hour after I know the washer stopped). Honestly, I'd feel a little icky if I had to take their diapers out, but I feel like that's the only time people would even know what's in your laundry. And it would be really annoying for you to have a basket of dirty diapers and be sitting there waiting for a machine to open up. Otherwise it just sounds like an added hassle for you, but not one that you couldn't work around.
