Gaylords in Paulsboro, Gibbstown and West Deptford

The Gloucester County shoreline from West Deptford south to Gibbstown is the New Jersey counterpart of the Pennsylvania refinery strip. Paulsboro has a marine terminal and processing for asphalt and lubricants; Gibbstown and nearby sites hold chemical storage and a logistics center on the river; West Deptford holds distribution and light industry along Route 130.

Plants like these buy small quantities of solid additives, filters, absorbents and maintenance goods, delivered in bulk boxes. A used box can do the same job twice, if it did not carry anything hazardous. We ask what a box held before we say what grade it is.

Our research lists petroleum refining, asphalt and lubricants, marine terminals and chemical storage for this stretch of river. We have no sourced figures for individual plants and give none.

We are not able to take containers that held hazardous materials, and this page says so plainly.

This page covers 08066, 08027, 08086, 08093 and 08063. The industries to expect there, from our market research: petroleum refining, asphalt and lubricants, marine terminals and chemical storage.

Maintenance turnarounds bring bursts of supplies. Chemical storage and terminals run year-round.
