As per the Do Not Call List website "Community living Recycling Matters" if it is a Registered Charity (it may not be) is legally able to call. As per below... The exemptions include telemarketing calls made by, or on behalf of:    * Canadian registered charities;    * Political parties, riding associations and candidates; and    * Newspapers of general circulation for the purpose of soliciting subscriptions.Telemarketing calls from organizations with whom you have an existing business relationship are also exempt. You are considered to have an existing business relationship with a telemarketer if you:    * Purchased, leased, or rented a product or service in the last eighteen (18) months from the telemarketer;    * Have a written contract with the telemarketer for a service that is still in effect or expired within the last eighteen (18) months; and/or    * Asked a telemarketer about a product or service within the last six (6) months....etc." If you do not want to be called by an organization?even if that organization is legally allowed to call you?you can ask to be put on its own do not call list. Every telemarketer based in Canada must maintain such a list and respect your wishes not to be called."If you would like to take a minute to request that your number be put on their Do Not Call list and to voice your complaint where it "may" matter see below...recyclingmatters @ bellnet.caThis charity is being run very poorly if this is how they operate/manage their own call center employees. Shame on them for not caring about their own reputation.

I work for recycling matters and it is very upsetting to to read the stories here we are a legitimate company and the only people you are hurting are the disabled people we support. http://www.communitylivingontario.ca/take-action/recycling-matters

I was listening some noise in the background between a conversation.. it sounded like the supervisor screaming something like: numbers, number!! let's get the donations.. or something like that  I think..anyway those guys are doing a good job.. and i already visited the  website CommunityLivingOntario.ca. if not for our help and our donations, what would be of those children? keep doing this.. they always are gonna get something from me

They called me 2x today...Told them many times in the past to kindly remove my # from theirlist and NOT bother me anymore BUT they keep on calling.I don't believe they're a charity !Even if they were,they should remove your # from their list after repeated requests !Someone had an idea in dealing with these pests that can't take no for an answer:"when they call next time,tell them you have lots and lots of clothing to give and to send abig truck ! " Like,give them a bit of their own rude medicine !  Ha !

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.
