They woke me up second Saturday morning, I had my box prepared since 4 weeks ago, they said would drop by to pick it up and now they call me again for the same reason.

If they are a legimate organization, then why don't they show their name instead of UNKNOWN NAME..And why don't they at least leave a message...if I am interested in donating anything I can at least call them back..this way I wouldn't give them ANYTHING.....they are very annoying calling all the time...if I ever get a chance to speak to them I certainly will give them an earful!

I work for *recycling matters* Community Living Ont, I can say if you want your number off our call list just askin nicely. Ive been working with the company for a few months now. Ive noticed all the people that are complanin are confused with all the companys that ask for donations. There is like i think 10 companys that do this kind of work. We as in community living ont *Recycling matters* get confused with CP. I know when I call someone for a donations and they hang up or accuse me of callin them 30 times a day when I know I havent cuz I have a sheet infront of me that i call and mark off who answers and who says yes and who isnt home and who wants to be removed. As for me Im not on a dailer so I ONLY call you guys twice (unless u say no) every 4 to 6 weeks. Now I have worked on the dailer (computer) a couple of times. We do call you guys for donations once in the mornin and once at night a couple of times a week til we fill a route. So if you guys dont hear us its cuz we are on the dailer then and it takes abit to get to us when you guys pick up. If you hang up or ignore use we have to put you throu as a redail. so if you like us to only call you once jus pick up and say you have nothing or please remove me til summer or fall or even spring or never call me again.

All that we ever ask is be nice... I know its stressfull to get so many calls from all of the companys but all that we as in telephone reps ask is please dont spaz on us. I know the office that i work with has had some issues with a driver who wasnt pickin up the donations. It effects us who call for the pick ups badly and we HONESTLY feel bad. it does take alot of work gatherin clothes and small household items to donate (trust me Ive donated before and had the same thing happen where the driver didnt pick it up and i work there LOL) So please give us another chance. It goes for a great cause jus like every other company.

please take me off your list always calls 4-5 times a day

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.

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?
