IBC totes in Gloucester County, NJ: Pureland to Paulsboro
Gloucester County is South Jersey’s I-295 and Turnpike warehouse belt, the Paulsboro refinery and Pureland, with orchards and vegetable farms inland. It has empties and buyers in the same county.
01What sits here
Pureland Industrial Complex in Logan Township covers about 3,000 acres of former farmland off I-295 and the Commodore Barry Bridge. Performance Food Group’s Swedesboro building grew to 300,618 square feet in 2024, about a quarter of it cold storage. PBF’s Paulsboro refinery and the Paulsboro Marine Terminal sit on the Delaware below the mouth of the Schuylkill.

02Who has empties, who needs totes
Food distribution and cold storage put out ingredient and rinse empties, and the refinery side puts out petroleum ones. Inland farms and nurseries ask for water totes. Because the county is on the east bank, it is the natural buyer for empties from Delaware County’s refinery strip across the Commodore Barry Bridge.
03Roads, rules and the move
I-295, the New Jersey Turnpike and NJ 55 carry trucks through the county, with US 322 meeting the bridge. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection is the agency to ask. A tote that crosses from Chester into Logan Township changes state, and the ticket records both. The districts, Logan and Swedesboro, and Paulsboro and Gibbstown, have their own pages.

05Weather, season and timing
Gloucester County sells produce at roadside stands in summer, and farms there buy tanks ahead of the season. Sellers should plan for deliveries in late winter and spring. Warehouses in Logan work in peaks around holidays, and a cold-storage pickup is easiest in the quiet weeks after a holiday rush.
