I attended the Towards Zero Waste event held by the Brighton and Hove Hotels Association (The Argus March 19). The chairman, Mark Jones, is offering a wellthought out opportunity for local hotels to get ahead of the game and organise their recycling before new legislation comes into force.

Because their partner, Magpie, is a co-operative and not for profit, they are also prepared to take items that other recycling companies won't take.

I hope this proposal will enable all hotels in Brighton and Hove to complete the environmental circle and lead the way for the rest of Britain.
