From Gadgets to Good: Memphis E-Waste Collection

NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESS Newswire / July 22, 2026 / Do you have unused cellphones, a dusty laptop, or e-reader tucked away in your attic and drawers? According to recent data, you aren't alone. In 2022 alone, the world generated a record 62 million tonnes of electronic waste - a number on track to surge by another 32% to reach 82 million tonnes by 2030.(1)

To help address e-waste, FedEx Cares held a collection event at our world headquarters in Memphis, offering team members and retirees in the community a convenient and secure way to responsibly dispose of their old electronics. Even with the challenging heat and humidity of Memphis, over twenty dedicated FedEx Cares volunteers helped make the drop-off seamless for the 144 cars that arrived on-site.
