What areas of Memphis does JRP service?

JRP services the Memphis tri-state metropolitan area, which spans Tennessee, Mississippi, and Arkansas. Coverage includes the City of Memphis (Downtown, Midtown, East Memphis, the University of Memphis area), Shelby County (Germantown, Collierville, Bartlett, Cordova, Lakeland, Arlington), DeSoto County MS (Southaven, Olive Branch, Horn Lake, Hernando), and West Memphis AR plus the surrounding Crittenden County, AR communities.

Does JRP work with the FedEx ecosystem?

Yes. The FedEx World Hub at Memphis International Airport is the largest FedEx Express superhub in the world and one of the largest air cargo hubs in the country. The combined FedEx footprint (corporate HQ in East Memphis, the World Hub at MEM, plus the broader logistics ecosystem including the supplier and third-party logistics network) drives substantial commercial activity. We support corporate office TI, decommissioning, FF&E refresh, plus distribution and warehouse cleanouts for the broader logistics ecosystem. The supplier and 3PL network anchored by FedEx represents one of the densest distribution corridors in our network.

What other major employers are in the Memphis metro?

Beyond FedEx, the Memphis metro hosts AutoZone (corporate HQ Downtown), International Paper (corporate HQ in East Memphis), ServiceMaster (corporate HQ Downtown), First Horizon, Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare, Baptist Memorial Health Care, plus St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (one of the leading pediatric cancer research centers in the world). The University of Memphis anchors educational institutional presence. Combined with FedEx, the metro has Fortune 500 corporate density that punches above the metro's population.

How does the tri-state jurisdiction work?

The Memphis metro spans Tennessee, Mississippi, and Arkansas. Tennessee solid waste falls under the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) Division of Solid Waste Management. Mississippi solid waste falls under the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality. Arkansas solid waste falls under the Arkansas Department of Energy & Environment. We coordinate disposal routing across all three states with consolidated billing under one master account, with documentation adjusted per jurisdiction. The bridge crossings of the Mississippi River (Hernando de Soto Bridge to Arkansas, Memphis-Arkansas Bridge) are factored into routing time for cross-river commercial work.

What's the manufacturing and distribution footprint?

Memphis has substantial manufacturing and distribution presence anchored by the FedEx logistics ecosystem. International Paper and a number of paper / packaging operations run major Memphis-area facilities. Smith & Nephew operates a major medical device manufacturing presence. The broader Mid-South distribution corridor along I-40 / I-55 / I-22 supports substantial 3PL, e-commerce fulfillment, and supplier-base activity. We support manufacturing accounts with plant decommissioning, line-shutdown debris, warehouse FF&E refresh, scrap metal recovery, and recurring service for steady-state packaging waste.

Why Memphis is operationally distinctive

The world's largest air cargo hub anchors the Mid-South.

Memphis is the global air cargo capital. The FedEx World Hub at Memphis International Airport is the largest FedEx Express superhub in the world, processing the bulk of FedEx's overnight package volume globally. The combined FedEx footprint spans the World Hub at MEM, the corporate HQ campus in East Memphis, plus the substantial supplier and 3PL network that has co-located in the metro to serve the FedEx ecosystem. The result is one of the densest distribution corridors in the country: ground operations along I-40 / I-55 / I-22, air operations at MEM, plus the river and rail freight infrastructure that historically anchored the metro before air cargo took over.

Beyond FedEx, the metro hosts AutoZone (Fortune 500 corporate HQ Downtown), International Paper (Fortune 500 corporate HQ in East Memphis), ServiceMaster (corporate HQ Downtown including Terminix and the broader brand portfolio), First Horizon (banking), plus St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and the Methodist / Baptist hospital systems. The Fortune 500 corporate density punches above the metro's population, which translates to substantial corporate office TI, decommissioning, and FF&E refresh work concentrated Downtown and in the East Memphis / Germantown corridor.

For multi-property accounts spanning the FedEx ecosystem (corporate HQ, World Hub airside operations, plus ground operations across multiple supplier facilities), we coordinate disposal routing under one master account with consolidated billing.

Tri-state geography along the Mississippi River

Tennessee, Mississippi, and Arkansas under one operational model.

The Memphis metro is unusual in spanning three states. Tennessee carries the bulk of the population including the City of Memphis, Shelby County, and the surrounding Tennessee suburbs (Germantown, Collierville, Bartlett, Cordova). Mississippi extends the metro south into DeSoto County (Southaven, Olive Branch, Horn Lake, Hernando) which has absorbed substantial residential growth and distribution corridor activity. Arkansas extends west across the Mississippi River into West Memphis (Crittenden County), with significant industrial and 3PL distribution presence taking advantage of the river crossings.

Each state has its own solid waste regulatory framework. Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) regulates the Tennessee side. Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality regulates the Mississippi side. Arkansas Department of Energy & Environment regulates the Arkansas side. The frameworks have similar core structure but each has its own permitted facility list and documentation requirements. We coordinate disposal routing across all three with consolidated billing under one master account.

River crossings (Hernando de Soto Bridge to Arkansas, Memphis-Arkansas Bridge) are factored into routing time for cross-river commercial work. For high-volume cross-river accounts, we pre-stage Loader capacity in West Memphis to minimize bridge transit overhead.

How disposal works in the Memphis region

The infrastructure behind every pickup.

Tennessee solid waste is regulated by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) Division of Solid Waste Management under Tennessee Code Annotated Title 68. Mississippi solid waste is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality. Arkansas solid waste is regulated by the Arkansas Department of Energy & Environment. The Memphis tri-state metro coordinates disposal routing across all three states. Republic Services and Waste Management run major regional landfills and transfer infrastructure across the three-state coverage area. Ample regional capacity keeps disposal pricing competitive vs East Coast and West Coast metros.

Memphis Transfer Network

Republic Services and WM transfer stations across the metro

Includes recycling and C&D processing on-site at most facilities. We use this network for accounts requiring transfer-station consolidation before disposal.

Mattress & appliance recycling

Regional partners across the tri-state metro

Mattress and appliance routing depends on condition. Donation-eligible items route through regional partners (Goodwill of North Mississippi, St. Vincent de Paul Memphis, Habitat ReStore network). Hazmat partner coordination available for materials outside our standard scope (refrigerants, contaminated materials, regulated streams).

Disposal routing depends on jurisdiction (TDEC, MS DEQ, or AR Department of Energy & Environment), county, waste classification, and project location. Tri-state coordination is built into our operational model rather than a one-off accommodation.
