Memphis, Tennessee
Commercial Recycling in Memphis, TN
Memphis is America's distribution center. The FedEx World Hub runs the busiest air-cargo airport in North America, five Class I railroads meet here, and the Port of Memphis moves freight up and down the Mississippi. Warehouses and cross-docks along I-40, I-55, and I-240 push cardboard and pallets by the trailerload. CRI services Memphis accounts with the same single-point-of-contact relationship our direct-fleet customers get.
Built for America's Distribution Center
Memphis turned location into an industry. The FedEx World Hub anchors the busiest air-cargo airport in North America, five Class I railroads cross here with their own intermodal yards, and the Port of Memphis is one of the largest inland ports on the Mississippi. Interstates 40, 55, and 240 form one of the busiest trucking corridors in the country, putting much of the United States within a one-day drive.
The volume lives in the warehouses and cross-docks. Transload and distribution operations across Frank C. Pidgeon Industrial Park, the Memphis Depot, the Chickasaw industrial area, and Southaven and DeSoto County just over the Mississippi line run high-volume OCC, stretch film, and pallets. Add the city's food and agribusiness plants, medical-device makers, and other manufacturers, and you get scrap metal and process packaging on top of the fiber. Clean cardboard graded right is rebate revenue, not a disposal cost.
CRI services Memphis through our vetted partner network. The customer relationship runs end to end with CRI: one team, one invoice, one point of contact.

Memphis Recycling, Common Questions
We run a Memphis distribution center. Can CRI handle our cardboard and film at volume?
Yes. We size spotted trailers and compactors to your dock throughput, schedule swaps so you are never backed up, and weigh every load on state-certified scales. Clean OCC ships mill-direct so it earns rebate value instead of becoming a disposal line item.
Can our cardboard and paper earn rebates, not just lower our disposal bill?
Yes. Graded and shipped mill-direct against live commodity markets, your OCC and paper come back as rebate revenue. The free assessment shows what your Memphis streams are worth.
We have facilities in more than one city. Can CRI cover all of them?
Yes. Memphis can run as one stop in a national program, with one CRI contract, one point of contact, and consolidated reporting across 45 states and 4 Canadian provinces. One team owns scheduling, billing, and escalations for every site.
