Founded in 1914 by Rocco Fanelle, R. Fanelle's Sons was one of the first scrap iron and metal yards in Camden, NJ.  Throughout the years, R. Fanelle's Sons have prided ourselves on our excellent customer service.  Rocco and his wife Rose came to America as immigrants from Italy in the early 1900s.  They had ten children through the years, seven of them being boys.  The scrap metal business soon became the sole supporter of this very large family.  The sons worked at the yard and ultimately became the owners of R. Fanelle's Sons Scrap Iron and Metal yard.  With Rocco laying the foundation for the boys' knowledge and expertise in the metals industry, the business continued to grow and succeed.

Currently, R. Fanelle's Sons is one of the leaders in the local scrap iron and metal industry.  It's sole third-generation owner, Thomas Fanelle, has developed the business further.  Tom ensures that his employees are treated exceptionally.  He also continues to help support the surrounding Camden communities.  After over 40 years in the business, Tom has the insight and experience to properly and respectfully run a business in the City of Camden.  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 loyal throughout the years.  You have helped us make R. Fanelle's Sons what it is today.
