Donate Preloved Goods
Help us give quality preloved furniture, homeware, and clothing a second life. Many items go straight to new homes, while some are lovingly refurbished by skilled volunteers through our connection with The Men’s Shed — giving them a fresh chance to be enjoyed again.
By donating, you’re supporting sustainability, reducing waste, and helping fund mental health initiatives, as 50% of profits from donated items go directly to the Mental Health Foundation of NZ.
Every good-quality donation helps build community, keeps usable items out of landfill, and supports our ongoing mission of care and connection.
To arrange a pick-up or discuss your donation, please email us at hello@thecollective.co.nz or call Louise on 027 499 8998.
Why Choose The Collective?
Why Choose The Collective?
Because moving forward shouldn’t cost the earth — emotionally, environmentally, or financially.
The Collective began as a boutique second-hand store and social enterprise, and those same values still guide everything we do:
✅ Kindness over convenience
✅ Sustainability in every service
✅ Meaningful impact for mental health in Aotearoa
From full-service senior relocations and estate clearances to waste-free packing with Eco Crate — we offer thoughtful, end-to-end support for life's big transitions. Whether you're downsizing, decluttering, or donating, we’re here to help make the process easier and more meaningful.
Join us in making a difference — one move, one find, one story at a time. 💚

What We do
At The Collective, we help people move lighter and live brighter.
Our work spans across three key areas:
✔️ Senior Downsizing & Relocation
Gentle, end-to-end support for those moving into retirement living — from sorting and packing to cleaning and settling in.
✔️ Eco Crate Hire
Reusable moving crates that make packing easier, greener, and faster — no tape, no mess, no waste.
✔️ Preloved & Refurbished Finds
We sell thoughtfully selected second-hand and refurbished items online, with 50% of profits from donated goods supporting the Mental Health Foundation of NZ.
Whether you’re moving, decluttering, or just love a good find, The Collective is here to help — always with care, purpose, and sustainability at the core.
💚 Some things can’t be measured in dollars — like kindness, care, and a lighter footprint.
At The Collective, we make moving gentler, reuse more beautiful, and giving more impactful.
From supporting seniors through life’s big transitions, to hiring out Eco Crates that reduce waste, to selling donated finds that give back — we’re here to do good, for people and the planet.
Every senior relocation supports the Mental Health Foundation of NZ. Every preloved item sold gives back. Every crate hired is one less cardboard box in landfill.
One move. One find. One story.💚
