About this Location

R. Fanelle and Sons Recycling is located at 1466 Ferry Ave, Camden, NJ 08104.

Founded by Rocco Fanelle in 1914, R. Fanelle's Sons was one of the first scrap iron and metal yards in Camden, NJ. Rocco and his wife Rose immigrated to America from Italy in the early 1900's. They eventually had ten children, three girls and seven boys. Those sons worked at the yard and ultimately became the owners of R. Fanelle's Sons Scrap Iron and Metal. Scrapping soon became the sole supporter of this very large family. With Rocco laying the foundation for the boys' knowledge and expertise in the metals industry, the business continued to grow and succeed. R. Fanelle's Sons is now a leader in the local scrap iron and metal industry and is renowned for excellent customer service. It's sole third-generation owner, Thomas Fanelle, has developed the operation even further. Tom ensures that his employees are treated exceptionally. He also continues to support the City of Camden and it's surrounding communities. After over 40 years in the trade, Tom has gained the insight and experience necessary to properly and respectfully run a successful company. Tom's children, fourth generation Fanelle's, are now also working at R. Fanelle's Sons. The Fanelle family continues to strive to please our customers and satisfy the need for metal recycling within the environment. We will continue to keep honest our business practices and ethical our management. Thank you to all of our customers and clients who have been so loyal throughout the years. You have helped make R.
