The Collective: Downsizing, Packing, Moving & Rubbish Removal Services on Auckland’s North Shore
Share
Moving, downsizing, or clearing a property can be stressful, time-consuming, and overwhelming — whether you’re relocating to a smaller home, moving into a retirement village, or managing an estate clearance. That’s where The Collective comes in.
Founded in 2014 as a retail store specialising in second-hand goods, The Collective spent over 11 years buying, selling, and donating items, with 50% of profits from donated items going to the Mental Health Foundation of NZ. Over time, our focus evolved naturally into helping people through life transitions — downsizing, relocating, clearing properties, and responsible rubbish removal — while continuing our commitment to mental health and sustainability.
Comprehensive Downsizing and Decluttering Services
Downsizing is more than just moving boxes — it’s about creating space, reducing stress, and simplifying life. Our team offers expert downsizing and decluttering services, helping you sort, organise, and decide what to keep, donate, or recycle.
With deep experience in second-hand goods and a commitment to sustainability, we ensure items are recycled, reused, or donated whenever possible. Partnering with Zero Waste initiatives, we give belongings a second life while reducing environmental impact.
Stress-Free Packing, Moving, and Unpacking
We provide a full range of professional packing and moving services. Using our own branded eco crates, we protect your belongings while making your move faster and more environmentally friendly.
· Packing: Careful and efficient packing using reusable eco crates.
· Moving: Smooth, safe relocation within Auckland, especially on the North Shore, using trusted, insured partners.
· Unpacking: Helping you settle in quickly, with items arranged and ready to use.
Rubbish Removal, Exit Cleaning, and Estate Clearances
In addition to moving services, The Collective offers:
· Rubbish removal: Responsible and eco-friendly disposal of unwanted items, helping you declutter quickly while reducing waste.
· Exit cleaning: Comprehensive cleaning so your old property is spotless for sale or tenancy.
· Estate clearances: Compassionate and efficient handling of estates, with items recycled or donated whenever possible.
Every step of the way, we make the process easy, efficient, and stress-free, including safe and sustainable removal of rubbish and unwanted items.

We are passionate about supporting people during stressful life transitions, whether moving homes, downsizing, or managing an estate.
