Best Wrightsville, PA Moving Company
Wrightsville sits on the west bank of the Susquehanna River, where the Columbia-Wrightsville Bridge carries Route 462 across to Lancaster County. It is a small river town with a long history. In June 1863, militia burned the river bridge here to stop Confederate troops, and much of the old town is now a National Register historic district. Our York County moving team helps families and seniors move in and out of Wrightsville all year.
Many homes here are older brick rowhomes, twins, and singles built close to the sidewalk on narrow streets and alleys. Moving day often means front steps, steep stairways, and tight turns. We pad railings and door frames, take beds and big pieces apart when needed, and bring the right dollies. If a dresser will not fit up the stairs, we tell you before we start and help you plan another way. Heavy items like pianos, gun safes, and solid wood furniture get extra planning and extra hands so walls and floors stay protected.
Truck parking takes some thought in the older blocks, since most homes rely on street parking and some streets are narrow. We look at your block ahead of time and pick a spot that keeps the road open. Homes near Front Street and the riverfront can be especially tight. With a median age of about 42, we also help a lot of longtime residents downsize, and our packing service can box up just the fragile items or the whole house.
Traffic is part of every move here. Hellam Street (Route 462) is the main road through town and feeds the river bridge, and the Route 30 freeway crosses the river just north of town. Backups on either bridge can slow a move heading toward Lancaster County, so we plan start times around the busiest hours. If your dates do not line up, we also offer storage so your things can wait until the new place is ready. We can take apart and set up beds and tables at the new home too.
We also move families next door in Hellam Township, across the river in Millersville, and all over York County. A & M Friendly Movers is family-owned since 2015, and we treat every Wrightsville 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 717-844-5125 for a free quote.

Moving in Wrightsville: Local Tips From Our Crew
Parking, trash pickup, traffic and building rules can make or break moving day in Wrightsville. Here’s what we plan around.
Large items go Friday
Large item pickup is Friday only, and items must be paid for at the Municipal Office by the end of the day Wednesday of that week; the office takes checks or money orders, not cash.
Trash out on collection day
Trash is collected Tuesdays and Fridays, and by ordinance it may not be set out before the collection day and containers must come off the curb by the end of that day.
Electronics aren't large items
Electronics such as air conditioners, TVs, computers and radios, along with lawn mowers, have been removed from the borough’s large item pickup list.
Request a street closure
The borough’s permit page includes a Street Closure Request form, and landlords have a separate Landlord Reporting Form.
Two lanes over the river
The Veterans Memorial Bridge carrying PA 462 to Columbia has a single 38-foot, two-lane roadway, so plan truck timing around bridge traffic.

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