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.

multiple calls, never a message

I am trying to decide if you are sarcastic or not.... keep doing it this way?  they call and do not leave messages, and many report getting dead air ... this is not the way to get donations ... they are not doing their charity any favours by calling 5 times a day just to harrass people by making them run for a phone and then  no one talks to themI got a cold call from the CF people in the summer looking for donations .. when I answered the phone, I had a polite person explain what they were doing etc., and I told them to send a truck over ... I emptied my basement and garage of items I had been hanging onto for years .... I would deal with them again simply because they had their name on the display;  talked to me when I answered;  were courteous, and have not called me since then, which I assume means that they realise that they should wait about a year to see if I accumulated more unwanted items.  They also provided their business card when they stopped by with their phone number and web site so I can contact them .... this is how you collect items for a charity ... well done CF :)

Its recycling matters. They come and pick up used clothes and books and other items that can be distributed to people in need.

Over the years I've donated a lot of stuff.

Unfortunately, the last few times they've called and made arrangements no one has appeared at my house to pick up the stuff they asked for.

This number calls me fairly often.  Generally, I don't answer and there has never been a message.  Today I answered, but there was no one on the other end.  Very frustrating!
