Best Collegeville, PA Moving Company
Collegeville is a small borough on the Perkiomen Creek, best known as the home of Ursinus College. Our Tri-State crew moves families, retirees, college staff and students in and around town, from the older homes along Main Street to the newer neighborhoods off Route 29. As part of our Tri-State moving service, we know how moves here work, whether it is a big family home or a single dorm room.
Main Street is lined with older single homes, some turned into offices or college housing. These houses often have steep front steps, narrow stairs and small bedrooms upstairs. We pad railings and door frames, take apart beds and big furniture when needed, and measure the tight spots before we carry. Parking on Main Street is limited and traffic moves through all day, so we plan the loading spot ahead of time, sometimes on a side street or in the driveway. If a big piece will not make the turn at the top of the stairs, we tell you before we start, not halfway through the day.
Away from Main Street, much of Collegeville is newer single-family homes and townhouse communities. Many have homeowners associations with rules about where a truck can park and what hours movers can work. Send us your HOA rules and we will build the plan around them. Most of these homes are owner-occupied, so a lot of our work here is full-house moves with a garage, a basement and a lot of stuff. We bring enough crew for the size of the home, protect floors and railings, and set beds and tables back up at the new place so you can sleep in your own bed that first night.
Timing matters in a college town. Late August and May get busy when Ursinus students move in and out, and Main Street traffic picks up on game days and events. We plan around those dates when we can. Collegeville also sits close to US 422, which makes it easy to start a long move. Need help getting ready? Our packing and unpacking service can box up the whole house or just the kitchen and fragile items.
We also serve nearby towns, including Limerick and Norristown, plus Trappe and Lower Providence. A & M Friendly Movers is family-owned since 2015, and we treat every Collegeville move like we are moving our own family. Our mission is simple: quality, professional service at a fair price. Home is where the heart is, and moving is where it starts. Call 410-499-8777 for a free quote.

“I used A&M Friendly Movers in 2022. They were prompt, friendly and efficient. I was having a family crisis and was visibly upset, they were compassionate and continued unloading and listening to my friend who was helping. They understood and gave me well wishes. They took a small break and we made small talk. It was a very hot day and i was concerned for them over heating. Very professional and excellent packers! Nothing was broken or damaged. I would use them again and will recommend them to anyone”

Moving in Collegeville: Local Tips From Our Crew
Parking, trash pickup, traffic and building rules can make or break moving day in Collegeville. Here’s what we plan around.
Trash goes out Monday night
Borough trash and recycling are collected once a week on Tuesdays, and should be at the curb Monday evening for the early-morning pickup.
Use Borough-issued cans
Collection is automated, so residents must use the Borough-provided cans with the wheels facing the house and clear space around each can.
Book bulk pickups ahead
Bulk items are not part of weekly pickup; residents contact the hauler directly to arrange a bulk item pickup for a fee.
Electronics need separate recycling
Electronics recycling is not included in weekly pickup; Montgomery County has a provider that picks up items such as computers, microwaves and TVs.
Plan around US 422
PA 29 is the only numbered highway directly serving Collegeville and has an interchange with US 422 southwest of the borough, the main route toward King of Prussia and Philadelphia.
What Shapes Your Collegeville Move Cost
No surprises. Here is exactly what goes into your quote, so you can plan with confidence.
Home Size
How many rooms and how much furniture. A condo and a four-bedroom house are very different jobs.
Distance
Across town, across Montgomery County, or out of state. Local moves are hourly; long-distance moves are priced upfront.
Access
Move time in Collegeville depends on limited parking and steady traffic on Main Street, stairs in older homes, HOA rules in newer neighborhoods, and busy Ursinus move-in and move-out weeks.

Packing, storage, furniture assembly, and heavy items like pianos and safes.
