HP today announced it has extended its recycling program in India to include consumers and small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).

The milestone adds to HP’s range of global product recovery services, which are now present in more than 50 countries and territories.

Beginning May 15, customers will be able to drop off HP-branded technology equipment at HP service centers in 17 locations across nine cities in India.

HP will accept, at no additional charge, any HP printer, scanner, fax machine, notebook or desktop PC, monitor, handheld device, or camera and associated external components such as cables, mice and keyboards. After collection, HP will consolidate the products and sort for recycling locally in India.

Subsequent phases of the program are planned to increase the number of drop-off points in those cities and include additional cities over the next year.

The more the vendors can do to aid in recycling in development countries the better for the environment and revenue generation. It will be interesting to see what levels of recycling are achieved by HP with this and I congratulate them on this, hopefully the other vendors can get involved, and maybe we can see an increase to include non-HP products? Will we see this be extended to other countries? In line with those articles I keep reading about the developing world getting computers dumped there? Interestingly, does the HP product label include Digital and Compaq? Not wishing to be complicated, just wondered.
