Who does your move in Monroe

Move & Care sends its own trucks and crews to Monroe from Charlotte, and a truck with two movers costs $139 to $179 an hour. We hold North Carolina certificate NCUC C-3067 and are the mover, not a broker.

Most Monroe homes are detached houses, and the usual one has three bedrooms: plan on a crew of three for 5 to 7 hours. Count on 3 to 5 hours with two movers for a two-bedroom apartment, and 7 to 9 with four for a four-bedroom house. To begin, enter both ZIP codes above, then your date and home size. Larger houses are walked through on video or in person before we price them.

The rate covers the crew, the truck and its gas, furniture pads, and taking apart a bed that will not fit through a door. After the 3-hour minimum, time runs in 15-minute steps, and the $50 equipment charge comes once. You pick any extras: packing and boxes, Full Value Protection, or hoisting at $40 per item per flight. Any damage goes on a Damage Report, filled in with the crew before it leaves.

Monroe runs its own electric, gas and water utilities; if your home is on city service, accounts open at its Customer Service office on East Windsor Street. Our truck stands on a residential street only while it loads, as city code allows for moving vans. If your apartment office requires our insurance papers, tell us what to name and we send the certificate.

Three Monroe homes, three crew sizes

The homes we expect most often in Monroe, each with the crew we would send and the hours it usually needs at the Charlotte office's rates. Your own estimate follows your item list and your date.

Example estimates
Three Monroe homes, three crew sizes
HomeCrewUsually takesExample estimate
2-bedroom apartment or duplex unitAbout one Monroe home in five sits in a building with two or more units 2 movers and a truck 3 to 5 hours $467 to $945
Who does what

The crew does

  • Two movers pad the dresser and the couch in the unit, take the bed apart, and run the cart from the door to the truck while it stands at the curb or in the lot.

You get ready

  • Find out from the landlord where a truck may wait during loading, and forward any insurance wording the complex asks for.
3-bedroom house with a drivewayAlmost half of the city's homes have three bedrooms (Census, 2020 to 2024) 3 movers and a truck 5 to 7 hours $945 to $1,653
Who does what

The crew does

  • Three movers work two rooms at once: one wraps upstairs while two carry boxes and the kitchen out, so the truck fills in the order it will be unloaded.

You get ready

  • Have boxes taped and labeled by room, and clear the driveway the night before so the truck can back close to the door.
4-bedroom house with a garageFour bedrooms or more: about one Monroe home in five (Census, 2020 to 2024) 4 movers and a truck 7 to 9 hours $1,583 to $2,561
Who does what

The crew does

  • Four movers split house and garage, taking down the beds and the outdoor furniture, and loading the heavy pieces first so nothing shifts on the drive.

You get ready

  • Ask for the video or in-home walkthrough when you request the estimate, and take gas cans and propane tanks out of the garage; we cannot load them.

The estimate is the crew's hourly rate times the hours, plus the $50 equipment charge once. The low figure is a quiet date with the shorter time; the high one a busy date with the longer time.

What every price includes

A local move is billed by the hours the crew works; a move to another state has one flat price. Both come with everything on this list.

What Monroe asks of you around moving day

Rules from Monroe's city code, its trash service and its utilities that touch a move, and who takes care of each.

A moving van may stand on your street to load
  • Our crew
  • Moving day

City code bars trucks over four tons or with more than two rear axles from residential streets, driveways and yards in Monroe, but makes an exception for a moving van parked to load or unload. Even then the stop may not run past 48 hours. Our truck parks, loads and leaves the same day.

Monroe Code of Ordinances, Sec. 72.45 (opens a new tab)

Leave driveways and corners open
  • Our driver
  • Moving day

No vehicle may stop in front of a driveway, within 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection, or within 30 feet of a stop sign or traffic signal. On a corner lot, tell us which side of the house the front door faces, and we pick a spot along the curb that keeps the neighbors' driveways clear.

Monroe Code of Ordinances, Sec. 72.16 (opens a new tab)

Set out furniture you are leaving the night before
  • You set it out
  • Eve of your trash day

Inside the city, Waste Pro picks up bulky items every week on your trash day. Put a sofa, a mattress or an old fridge at the curb after 5 p.m. the night before, out by 7 a.m., and at least 2 feet from your carts. Construction and repair debris, tires, paint and pool chemicals are refused.

City of Monroe, Bulk and E-Waste (opens a new tab)

Call Solid Waste for old TVs and computers
  • You call the city
  • Before you move

Anything with a circuit board, from a television to a printer or a microwave, counts as e-waste in Monroe and is collected by appointment only. Call the city's Solid Waste office to book it, since these items cannot go out with the weekly bulk pickup.

City of Monroe, Bulk and E-Waste (opens a new tab)

Open the city utility accounts
  • You call the city
  • Before your first night

The City of Monroe runs its own electric, natural gas and water systems. If your new home is on them, the city's Customer Service office, by phone or in person at 201 East Windsor Street, opens the accounts, so call it before the keys change hands.

Inside the city line or out in Union County

A Monroe address does not always mean the city. Which side you are on changes how trash and leftover boxes leave the house.

On this page
  1. Inside the city limits
  2. Outside the limits, in Union County
  3. A move that stays in North Carolina

Inside the city limits

The City of Monroe contracts with Waste Pro to collect garbage, bulky items and yard waste every week, with recycling every other week. Each house gets a green 96-gallon cart for garbage and a black one for recycling. Carts go out after 5 p.m. the night before, sit within four feet of the curb by 7 a.m., and come back in by 7 p.m. Your recycling week is green or blue; the Solid Waste page has the calendar.

Outside the limits, in Union County

Some homes with a Monroe mailing address sit outside the city. Union County runs no curbside pickup at all, so those homes use a private hauler or one of the county's drop-off sites. Four of the five have Monroe addresses: Parkwood, Piedmont, Goldmine Road and Armfield. All are open Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. They take bagged trash, recycling and electronics; a big pile of moving cardboard has to go to the county landfill on Austin Chaney Road in Wingate on a weekday (Union County convenience centers).

A move that stays in North Carolina

A Monroe move to Charlotte, Concord or Raleigh is an in-state move, and North Carolina requires the mover to hold a Utilities Commission certificate. Ours is NCUC C-3067, listed under Move and Care, LLC, Charlotte, on the Commission's carrier list. A move to another state runs under our federal numbers instead, USDOT 3212621 and MC 1018431.

Questions about moving in Monroe

Didn't see your question? Call (919) 561-5237, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., 7 days.

Two movers and a truck: $139 to $179 an hour, 3-hour minimum.

For a Monroe move, two movers with a truck cost $139 to $179 an hour, three start at $179 and four at $219; the date decides where in the range you land. The first 3 hours are the minimum; after them we bill each 15 minutes, and the $50 equipment charge comes on top a single time. In Monroe a two-bedroom apartment usually runs 3 to 5 hours with two movers and a three-bedroom house 5 to 7 with three; the table above turns those hours into dollars.

On a Monroe move with us, these are the charges beyond the hourly rate. A job that needs only 2 hours is still billed as 3. The $50 equipment charge is added once per move. Packing labor and boxes cost extra if you ask for them, and so does Full Value Protection. For a piece that has to be hoisted, each flight costs $40 per item. A second-floor bedroom or a long path to the truck adds clock time, with no separate fee.

A quiet date. Our two-mover rate runs from $139 to $179 an hour, and where your move lands in that range depends on how booked the date is; the end of the month and summer go first. If your Monroe lease gives you a choice of days, ask us for an estimate on two dates and compare them before you book.

Any company moving household goods between two places inside North Carolina, Monroe to Matthews for example, needs a certificate from the North Carolina Utilities Commission, and the Commission publishes the list. Our certificate is NCUC C-3067. A move from Monroe to another state falls under federal rules, where our numbers are USDOT 3212621 and MC 1018431. Either way we are the mover, with our own trucks, not a broker.

Yes, for the move itself. Section 72.45 of Monroe's code keeps big trucks out of residential districts but exempts a moving van parked to load or unload, for up to 48 hours. It still may not block a driveway or stop within 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection. Apartment complexes often set their own truck rules, so ask the office too.

Yes. Moving from Monroe to another state is priced as a flat rate: we base it on your inventory and the driving distance, and it does not change if the trip takes longer. By default your belongings ride in their own truck; a shared truck can lower the price when your dates are flexible. Our route pages from Charlotte show sample prices for many states.

Yes. Office moves in Monroe are billed by the hour like a home move, with the same Charlotte crews, and the crew size follows the number of desks, files and machines. If the landlord asks for a Certificate of Insurance, send us the building's exact wording and we issue it before the date.

Monroe neighborhoods and what they mean for the truck

The city's downtown plan names its own districts, and the city line splits the rest of the Monroe addresses. Each part loads a little differently.

  • Downtown Core

    In the central business district, city code lets a truck stand in a traffic lane only for quick loading, never past 15 minutes in one spot. A move takes far longer, so ask your landlord where our truck can park.

    City code, Sec. 72.56

  • South Monroe Historic District

    Historic houses on Hayne, College and Everette streets

    Residents' input to the city's 2026 downtown plan flags missing sidewalk on Lancaster Avenue in the district, so the dolly may roll along the street edge. Send a photo of the front steps and the narrowest doorway.

  • Monroe address, county land

    Union County homes outside the city limits

    Union County runs no curbside trash pickup, so plan to haul extra boxes to a county drop-off site open Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Tell us the driveway length when you fill in the form.
