They are in fact a charity that is calling to ask if you have anything to donate so they can come and pick them up.  The phones are staffed by volunteers that are often new canadians and young so they can be hard to understand.  They are trying to do good, answer and if you don't want them to call you anymore, be polite and they will definitely respect your wishes and remove you from their lists.

One of the rare #'s when you call back it's actually them.

Clearly, it's a rogue call centre or calling staff that's trying to meet a call quota, and their strategy is to call me, provide dead air, leave the line open from their end as long as possible, and get paid for it all. Just another problem that we've created in our world, and actually paying people for it.

It was Rogers calling to let me know I won a dispute against them with the CCTS

They are not exempt. A check with revenue Canada shows no official registration for Recycling Matters as a charity itself. In order for them to be exempt, they must identify themselves as working for Community Living Ontario and it is Community Living Ontario that should be doing the work.What is happening is Community Living Ontario is outsourcing its fund raisings to an unethical thrid party.

you hit the nail on the head with that ... we are here to see who keeps calling since they do not leave messages;  nothing wrong with that

to call people losers because we get home and see they called several times and didn't leave a message shows a lack of intelligence

if you don't want to see people's messages.... browse elsewhere :)

recycling matters ,told them twice already to stop calling ,they do for a while 2 months .then it starts again.
