IBC totes in Camden County, NJ: waterfront and Route 130

01What sits here

Campbell’s is headquartered in Camden, and the city’s port terminals on the Delaware face Philadelphia. The Route 130 corridor near the Betsy Ross Bridge holds food wholesalers, blenders and truck terminals. Gloucester City, in the county’s southwest corner, has a fruit import terminal with cold storage.

02Who has empties, who needs totes

The county sits on the east bank directly across from Philadelphia, so it sees the short haul in both directions. Blenders and distributors in the Route 130 strip are repeat buyers of rebottled and reconditioned totes, and food makers in Camden put out ingredient empties that suit water and food-safe uses.

03Roads, rules and the move

I-676, I-295 and NJ 42 run through the county, with NJ 130, NJ 70 and NJ 73 on the strips. The Ben Franklin, Walt Whitman and Betsy Ross bridges cross to Philadelphia. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection is the agency to ask. Camden, and Pennsauken, have pages of their own.
