They called me today and did not leave a message. I called them back asking to be removed from their list and they complied.  When I asked how long it would take to be removed from their list they said it would happen that evening.

This is not a do not call site. For the National DNCL site (Canada), go to https://www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca/index-eng.

I answer this one.  As stated it's to pick up donations that us lazy bastards can't be bothered to drop off anywhere :).  I'm not a fan of unknown numbers, but please reconsider for this one.

Take care, j

Do you think that yours is the ONLY company that is looking for hand outs? What really irks me is that you still keep calling after you have called me (at home) 10 times and have NEVER gotten a response!
Like most people ,I screen my calls and use an answering machine to avoid talking to you (telemarketers).Don't you idiots ever get the hint? STOP CALLING ME! your constant calls are an annoyance ,and, if you happen to call at a bad time,you WILL get a blast of s**t that I will not feel sorry for giving you...
If I really wanted to talk with you I would initiate the call..In other words...DON"T CALL US...WE"LL  CALLYOU!

It's community living, recycling matters.  They call asking for donations, such as old clothing, etc...

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.
