Recycling MattersWe've given several times and had no problem with pick ups.It helps when you give.

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.

These jerks called me 5 times in the past 2 weeks.
There is never anyone at the other end.
How can we make them stop?

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.

sadly a lot of people are exempt ... including charities and opinion poles etc.   As well as anyone you had dealings with or asked for information in the past 2 years, and newspapers I think.

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.
