Gaylord boxes in Camden County, New Jersey

Camden County is the part of New Jersey nearest Center City, reached by the Ben Franklin, Walt Whitman and Betsy Ross bridges. Camden itself is a port and manufacturing city; Pennsauken is the trucking and distribution town on Route 130; Gloucester City holds a fruit import terminal; the suburbs behind them add retail and offices.

Because it sits next to the city and the bridges, the county works as a staging ground for Philadelphia-bound freight. Warehouses there receive pallets, break them down and send them across the river, leaving empties on the New Jersey side.

Campbell's is headquartered in Camden (Wikipedia). Holt's Gloucester Terminal in Gloucester City was reported in 2013 to hold about 20 million cubic feet of refrigerated storage, with cold-treatment capacity of 3,500 pallets (FreshPlaza). Those two facts are context for the county and not claims of customers.

• Buy. Distributors who want used multi-trip boxes for repacking and outbound loads.
• Sell. Warehouses and processors with clean single-trip empties.
• Recycle. Mixed or damaged stacks ready for the baler.

Say whether the stack is on a dock or in a yard; Route 130 buildings are mostly docks, and that makes pickup easy.

• Staging ground. A place where freight is gathered and sorted before moving on, the role Camden County plays for Philadelphia.
• Ripening room. A controlled room in which imported fruit is brought to market ripeness, found at the Gloucester City terminal.
• Scrap yard. A site that collects, sorts and sells recyclable metal, paper and plastic, a common neighbor of Camden's industrial streets.

• The municipality and ZIP.
• The type of building: dock, yard or street door.
• The count, footprint and grade.
• Whether the boxes are dry.
