Katikati Essentials

Resource Collective is a community-based enterprise in Katikati focused on reuse, recycling, and supported employment. We are a dynamic partnership between Chrome Collective Charitable Trust and Cultivate Culture Ltd, dedicated to turning waste into opportunity. Our Katikati Hub provides repair, resale, and drop-off services for a wide variety of goods, from homewares and furniture to e-waste and garden tools. We rescue reusable items, reduce landfill waste, and empower our community by creating meaningful work and training opportunities, particularly for people with disabilities.

Grow On Katikati is a community gardening project in Katikati focused on empowering locals to grow food. We share seeds, seedlings, and skills to promote food resilience, offering regular events and workshops. Our shed is open Saturdays for sharing resources and connecting with fellow growers, and we host a monthly Crops Swap Food Fiesta.
