New Jersey Container Construction Information

New Jersey is an East Coast American city, sandwiched between New York, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. Despite being rather small, it has a high population density due to its proximity to several major metro areas like New York City and Philadelphia.

When people think of New Jersey, they often have preconceived notions: a cheap commuter location for New York City jobs, the Jersey Shore TV Show, or maybe the casinos of Atlantic City.

In fact, New Jersey has a lot more to offer than just these stereotypes. It's also a surprisingly rural state, with farms, forests, and the Kittatinny Mountain Range. And it's full of quaint towns and smaller cities, especially in the southern end of the state, out on the peninsula.
