Hiring movers in Washington Township NJ means hiring a crew that knows the township changed the rules in 2024: Public Works no longer picks up move-outs or house clean-outs, bulk trash is three items once a month, and the county waste complex won’t let you in with a rented truck. Good Washington Township NJ movers also know that the housing inspection has to be booked three weeks before settlement, that a raised sidewalk slab is a failing item, and that Route 42 at Cross Keys is a parking lot at 5 p.m. Here is how we plan Washington Township moves, what the township expects when you move out, and answers to common questions about moving in Sewell, Turnersville, and the rest of the township.
Washington Township is Gloucester County’s biggest municipality, and almost every move in it touches Route 42 (the Black Horse Pike), Route 55, or the Hurffville-Cross Keys Road and Egg Harbor Road corridors between them. The Cross Keys retail strip and the Jefferson hospital campus on Hurffville-Cross Keys Road make the afternoons slow, and Route 42 carries shore traffic on summer weekends. We build the traffic into our arrival time and start early on moves near Cross Keys. The good news is that from anywhere in the township, I-295 and the Walt Whitman Bridge are 15 to 20 minutes away when the roads are clear.
The 1960s and 1970s sections of Sewell, Hurffville, and Heritage Valley are full of bi-levels and split-levels, and those surprise people on move day. In a bi-level, everything comes down the front stairs or through the garage, and the lower level usually has a low ceiling and a tight turn at the bottom. In a split, every load goes up or down a half flight. The newer colonials in Turnersville and the 1990s and 2000s sections of Sewell are easier on the stairs but bigger, with finished basements and two-car garages full of 20 years of stuff. On the walkthrough we look at the stairs, the lower-level access, and the garage, because that is where the hours are.
Washington Township has a lot of attached housing and a growing number of active-adult communities, and most of them are HOA communities with assigned parking and rules about moving hours. Our trucks are 26-foot straight-body trucks and won’t fit in an assigned or guest space, so before move day we figure out the closest legal spot to your door. The farther the crew has to carry, the longer the job takes, and on an hourly move that shows up on the bill. The apartment complexes along Route 42, Egg Harbor Road, and Delsea Drive are the ones most likely to want a certificate of insurance and a reserved loading window; ask your management office as soon as your date is set and we send the COI straight to them.

The township is 21 square miles with several mailing addresses, and each part of it changes how we plan the day:
A lot of our Washington Township calls are from families who bought in Sewell or Hurffville in the 1970s or 1980s and are now moving to a 55+ community, a townhome, or closer to grandkids. Those moves have more decisions in them than boxes: what fits in the new place, what goes to the kids, what gets sold, and what goes to the curb. We break them into pieces (our senior moving services page covers how). We can deliver the keeper pieces to the new home, run a second load to a family member’s house, and haul the rest away during the same job. Our packing crew handles the china cabinet, the artwork, and the boxes you would rather not lift.
Since 2024, the township has been clear that move-outs and clean-outs are the owner’s problem, not Public Works’ (see below). If there is more than three bulk items’ worth, we can carry it to the curb or a dumpster at our hourly rate, or take it to the landfill and add the disposal fee the landfill charges by weight.
Sewell and Turnersville are about 18 miles from Center City by way of Route 42 and the Walt Whitman Bridge, and a lot of our Washington Township customers are coming over from South Philly for a yard, a driveway, and the schools. That move crosses a state line, which makes it an interstate move. Interstate household-goods movers need a USDOT number and operating authority from the FMCSA. Aron Movers holds both (USDOT 757960, MC 568794) along with our New Jersey license. Before you hire anyone for a Philly-to-Sewell move, look up their USDOT number and read our guide to moving company red flags.
The township tightened its trash rules in 2024 and they catch sellers on the way out. Confirm details with Washington Township Public Works at 856-589-0523 or on the township’s bulk trash page.
Washington Township requires a housing inspection under the International Property Maintenance Code before any home is sold or rented, and issues a Certificate of Continued Occupancy when it passes. The township’s own advice is to schedule it at least three weeks before settlement so there is time for repairs. Here is what to expect:
From a bi-level in Hurffville to a five-bedroom in Turnersville, our Washington Township crews protect floors and doorways and bring the right equipment for every home. Residential moving
Cross Keys, Egg Harbor Road, and the medical offices around the Jefferson campus are full of practices, professional offices, and retail. We plan commercial relocations around your hours to keep downtime short. Commercial moving

Only three items, once a month, on your zone’s bulk Friday. Since ordinance 10-2024, Public Works does not collect house clean-outs or move-outs at all; the township says the owner or seller has to hire a junk removal service or haul it to the Gloucester County Waste Complex, which won’t admit a rented truck. We can haul it away during your move instead.
A housing inspection through the Construction Office at 523 Egg Harbor Road, $70, which produces a Certificate of Continued Occupancy when it passes. The township says to schedule it at least three weeks before settlement. The inspector checks smoke and CO detectors, handrails, sanitation, and the sidewalk, and the township checks your permit history first, so unpermitted work will hold up the certificate. First reinspection is free, then $50 each.
Metal and electronics are not bulk trash. Stop in at Public Works to schedule a $20 pickup (Tuesdays only), or drop them at the yard on McClure Drive any Saturday between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. at no charge. If the timing doesn’t work, we can take them away during the move.
Usually, with planning. Our trucks are 26-foot straight-body trucks and won’t fit in an assigned or guest space, so before move day we figure out the nearest spot that doesn’t block a fire lane or a neighbor. If your HOA has rules about where moving trucks can stage or what hours they can arrive, tell us when you book. A shorter carry means a shorter job.
No. Even though it is only about 18 miles over the Walt Whitman Bridge, a move between Philadelphia and Washington Township crosses a state line, so it is an interstate move. The mover needs a USDOT number and FMCSA operating authority. Aron Movers is USDOT 757960 and MC 568794, and we also hold NJ License #39PM00033600.
Local moves in Washington Township are billed by the hour, so the cost depends on crew size, how much you are moving, and access at both homes. A bi-level or a colonial with a finished basement and full garage takes longer than the square footage suggests, which is why we recommend an in-home or video walkthrough. New Jersey requires movers to give you a written estimate at least 24 hours before the move. See our South Jersey moving costs guide for typical ranges, or call (856) 854-1993 for a free quote.
