02Who has empties, who needs totes
Ingredient and rinse empties are the district’s tote stream. The grades are used or rinsed, with food-ingredient histories that suit farms, nurseries and gardens. A tote from a cold-storage building may have a very simple past. The neighbouring farms in Gloucester County are close buyers, and blenders in Camden County are a short run up I-295.
03Roads, rules and the move
I-295, the New Jersey Turnpike and the Commodore Barry Bridge serve the district, with NJ 322 and US 130 on the grid. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection is the agency to ask. A ticket from Pureland that crosses the bridge to Delaware County moves into Pennsylvania’s program.

05On the ground
Logan Township’s distribution buildings sit on large lots off the Turnpike and I-295, with many dock doors and rotating tenants. Say the building address and the door number. Swedesboro’s farms sit a short drive east, so a nursery buyer can collect a few totes from a distribution centre without a freight carrier. Cold-storage sellers should say if the totes are frosted.
06Weather, season and timing
Distribution centres around Logan and Swedesboro run around the clock, and a night pickup is possible where a day one is not. Sellers should say when a dock is free of inbound trucks. Local growers harvest in summer and early autumn, when tractors fill the county roads, so give a buyer extra time in July and August for a delivery along the farm lanes.
