your an idiot, if you for one minute think that this" clothing donation" centre is creating Canadian jobs. when the clothes and collections are being shipped off-shore. the way they go about collecting the clothes is dishonest. you want to complain about people posting on this issue when they are trying to help less fortunate Canadians while this company is only helping themselves under a false pre-tense praying on the generosity of others.

Hahaha. .....good bye mike the Dike! by law passes next week. get your bins out of town.  

You have read all the reviews about people having your bins dropped off to private property without permission. Never mind if is a charity or not it is not up to you where you you think one of your boxes should go. These boxes are dangerous as they can be set on fire and illegal dumping can cause liability risks for property owners and their neighbors. Maybe you should research the laws and find out where if can put your property on someone else property WITHOUT PERMISSION. As someone who looks after commercial plazas I charge to break up and take these boxes to the dump, but I still do not want them dumped illegally I am just going to destroy and despose with one in Scarborough now that the company said would have a representative call me but did not.
Profit or non profit, you do not see the right or wrong of putting your s*** where it does not belong.

Do you still need someone to remove the bin?  I can do it free of charge.  This guy is a thief and he dropped one on my property last year.

I agree!!! There needs to be a by-law so these organized crimesters cant just drop a bin where ever  and when ever they want. We should run them out of town!! Any ideas? I hate crap like this. I put them on the same level as thugs breaking into cars and houses. No respect for other peoples property.

Mike is such a loser. He thinks by putting out some red bins, that would throw everyone off his trail.Then he goes and paints them purple and puts a charity (real or not) on them. Then a green bin plops down beside all his bins. This green bin guy is just as bad as Mike. When is there going to be a by-law???

Ban this idiot. Sign this petition or visit http://bantheecca.genzel.ca/ This guy sent me nothing but profanity laced drivel when I wrote him about his bins.

To ECCA Management Team

One of your bins was dropped off on a property that my maintenance company looks after. (Bellshire,  Mississauga).
We are contracted to have them removed and or disposed of as part of our daily duties on site as per the request of the property owner or manager.  
The term remaining on our contract is for the next 3 years.
 
Prior to removing the box / bin, our team manager had contacted your company several times.
Promises were made to remove it, however no one had shown up to do, so inturn we were told to get it off the property.

If my company does not remove them offsite when asked to, I am going against my contract agreement  with the owner & we will be terminated from the services we provide. This cannot happen.

After removing your bin, another bin was immediately dropped off the next day.
I called your company to have it removed once again, no one showed up, so again I was asked to get it off site and under my contract terms, I must do so, so we did.

This morning, I find that another bin had been dropped onsite once again. My workers tell me it was dropped off overnight.

My contract with the property owner is ongoing.  
We're glad to have been given the work however, removing and disposing of your bins costs my company extra money & I cant have this go on any longer
.
Costs incurred :  man hours - fuel & disposal fees, not to mention it dismisses a truck from working onsite. So far we've removed 3 bins in total if Im not mistaken.

Im asking you nicely here online, as I do not wish to incur any more expenses & I truly cant afford it.
Its part of my agreement and we don't charge extra for removing them.
"please stop dropping your bins on this location".
We remove them because the owners of the property do not want them there & I have no choice but to abide by the terms of our contract.

You have not returned any of my phone calls & Im simply trying to get this message to you. I left another message on your line this morning.

If the bins continue to be dropped off, I will have no choice but to find an alternative method of disposal which will be much more cost effective.

I am such an idiot. I am really the one that is an uneducated bully. I post on all kinds of threads with different aliases so people think I have friends or supporters. In reality...I dont. If you were smart enough you would see that the wording, tone, and poor grammar are the same in all. My job is so legitimate I have to do this in the middle of the night so I dont get caught. Please dont touch my bins, I have worked so hard to put them out! I know you can do what ever you want with them but I am just an honest guy trying to make a living...

Blah blah blah.....if one of your bins so much as even touches my property line again I will have it dismantled by the time you get out of my parking lot. Coward.

And an idiot who can't spell or write coherent English.

You're an idiot. Seriously.

Okay, so you dont think that this kind od stuff doesnt happen to the E.C.C.A. bins is that what your trying to get at because come on boys this isnt kindergarden or preschool you have to be at least smart enough to realize that this is all one sided. I was brought up that their are two sides to every story and well we obviously only know the editors side of the story in turn looks liketo be speaking for the people who run the Kidney Foundation bins. E.C.C.A. is indeed a non-profit organization which in turn means that they are not a charity. There is in fact a distinct difference. Look it up with the Canada Revenue Agency and do your own research. You will infact find that this company is a legitimate organization. As you can clearly see from the pictures that the editor of this article as included states right on the front of the yellow bins that E.C.C.A. is a non profit organization. I am also sure that if you were to ask any if the gentleman that work for E.C.C.A. they could probably also inform you that at some point over there years of operation that their bins have also been a target some where along the lines. I know it may sound crazy but lets be honest here. Who is to say that the people who run the pick up for these particular bins from the Kidney Foundation didnt do this inorder to receive some attention. They realized that they need to try to do something drastic inorder to receive a higher volume in donations. Maybe they are upset that people would rather donate to the E.C.C.A. bins then to theirs. Yes I see the E.C.C.A. bins everywhere but come on people these bins may be all over the city but they are not an eye sore. They are always kept clean they are emptied on a regular basis. Who cares what time of day they are emptied so long. The fact that they are kept clean and well maintained shows a lot if citizens that the gentalman that runs this business for the city of Brantford and it surrounding area takes pride in his job and in this community. Yes maybe he put the bin on your business property and didnt ask you first but if he maintanes it then was the big deal really. It is 'a 4 foot by 4 foot piece of property, probably unused, that these bins use up 9 times out of 10 times. Come on, if you cant see the eco-friendly side of this business rather than believing that you are the victims of a scam. The real scammers here are the CHARITY outfits such as the sally anne (salvation army) or how about canadian diabetes association (that would rather maintain their routes once a week, so your donations end up as waste because they're soaking wet or scattered across parking lots) and companies such as goodwill for example. these charities keep the money right in their own greedy pockets, with volunteers to help, and over priced goods in their thrift stores. Not to mention you know that the items that they can not sell, that remain in circulation for extended periods of time from store to store until they too are loaded into a container right beside the others being shipped off to Africa or god knows where just the same as the rest. Believe it people it's called economics. Oh and not to mention the CEO of good will has a 7 figure income. I know that E.C.C.A. does give back to the community. I also know that E.C.C.A give donations to Sick Kids Childrens hopsital as well as a could other places. Sick Kids was the main one that has stuck in my head as I have been there on many different occasions with members of my family. The employees of E.C.C.A. have kept up with their promise of regular and routine service, and prompt emergency cleanups if needed. You know all the lovey crap that some disgusting people seem to think is worth donating for example rotten couches or beds. One phone call and someone is their the same day to clean this filth up. In my opinion they do a great job of a filthy business. For godness sake folks, look past your own greedy pockets and think for a minute about the environmental impact that this business has developed. The gentleman that work for the E.C.C.A. organization are friendly, well kept individuals who if take the time to do their part for the community as well. They do not under any circumstances keep anything that they empty out if the bins it is against company policy as well as I am sure that they are aware that it is not worth liosing their jobs over. Is it really as bad as you are making it out to be? They are not scammers but working people too. Try working with them and you too will see for yourselves just how much of a good thing that this really is. Come on try it really. What do you have to loose?

Give me your address i want to give you a Rewards.

I like your approach.  This has nothing to do with what type of business ECCA is operating.  

The fact is that Mike Lambert CHOOSES not to work with the owners of the property and will ignore you so that he gets what he wants.  He is a BULLY that will take what he wants - free space to set up his boxes.  Do you really think he would be ALLOWED to set up a bin inside a building without permission?  So why is this any different?  Because he is allowed to get away with.

I would like to see more business owners stand up to these bullying tactics.

Get your sledgehammer or chainsaw and dismantle the trash (the bin) that has been dumped on your property and get rid of it.  If people push back then the bullies will stop bullying.

I have a few questions. What does E.C.C stand for? What is happening to the clothing collected? Why not ask permission before leaving bins on private property?

I don't care if you are for profit or not.  What I care about is that you dropped your bin on one of our properties without permission.  We have left you numerous messages but to no avail.  You have not been courteous in the way you conduct yourself.  We have made arrangements to have your bin disposed of and are investigating to have you properly served, as well as charged.  We will make sure you will be spending some of your time & money.

yessir as a matter of fact i am quite happy with myself and how i conduct my business.  is that the best that you could come up with????? i am refering to the fact that we use the word "donate" on our bins???  how petty! have a nice day come back soon when you become a little bit more educated.

It must be very sore from patting yourslef on the back 24-7.

You would not generate half the bad publicity if you asked to place boxes, and received permission, before you dropped them on private property. Instead they are dropped off under the cover of darkness on unsuspecting property owners who are left to deal with the mess and garbage they generate.

It does not matter if you are not a charity, you are a freeloader. You are a Not-For-Profit organization that cooks their books to be unprofitable. You people are the ones that use the word 'DONATE' on your boxes.

When people complain that your boxes are dumped on them and calls to have them removed are ignored, you come on here to call them names and antagonize them.

Bravo!

duh, what did you mean in the last sentence???????  i hope you don't look as stupid as you sound!  your poor parents must be proud!  who did cbc bust anyways????  the unfortunate side of this,  is the fact that they are as uneducated as you are in this matter!  i would suggest to you and cbc, not be as biased as you are and open your eyes to what is really taking place rather that do nothing but put negative media in circulation.  thank you for making my job just a bit tougher.  if you are that  naive enough to follow, without your own indulgence into these affairs, well then i am certainly sorry about your luck.!  i really hope your not a school teacher!  or even a parent for that matter.

listen to what you are saying, "we need a member of our government to get involved" . they are involved, and we pay our taxes and they make whatever they make from us,! which is a substantial amount I'm sure!  why on earth would they want to disrupt a good thing?  they would rather focus on the ones that don't pay their taxes and do skip out on their accounts and screw them over along with the rest of the country left, right, and center!  where as we, on the other hand do not ! we do nothing but what is required of us by law in this respect. and this my friends are the facts. look it up motormouth!

IF AMAZES ME HOW LOOSELY YOU CAN USE TERM "SCAM": TO DESCRIBE MY LINE OF WORK!  JUST BECAUSE OF YOUR LEVEL OF INTELLIGENCE, OR LACK OF, DOES NOT JUSTIFY THE LEVEL OF DISGUST I HAVE FOR YOU AND YOUR FOLLOWERS. DO THE HOMEWORK BEFORE YOU THROW AROUND SUCH LIES AND DISRESPECT TOWARDS ME AND MY PEERS.  NOW JUST BECAUSE I DON'T PARTICULARLY LIKE YOU OR YOUR LINE OF WORK, "PER SAY"; DOES NOT GIVE ME THE RIGHT OR JUSTIFICATION TO SLANDER YOU OR YOUR FELLOW WORKERS NOW DOES IT????  PERHAPS i'LL JUST THROW OUT THE IDEA THAT YOU ARE A PEDOPHILE AND SUGGEST THAT YOU DIDDLE CHILDREN FOR KICKS AND SEE HOW MUCH YOU APPRECIATE THAT. RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH MY FRIENDS!  IT CERTAINLY WILL TELL YOU THE TRUTH BEHIND WHAT I DO. AND THAT IS THE FACT OF THE MATTER. INDEED WE DO NOT OPERATE AS A CHARITY, OTHERWISE YOU WOULD SEE A REG'D CHARITY NUMBER ON OUR BINS!  RATHER WE OPERATE AS A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION.  YES SIR, THERE IS A VERY BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO.  FOR YOUR INFORMATION CHECK OUT THE WEBSITE AT CANADA REVENUE AGENCYhttp://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/E/pub/tg/t4117/t4117-10e.pdf. AND THEN COME BACK AND TELL ME WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED TODAY.  EVERYBODY, YOU WILL BE ENLIGHTENED I'M SURE!  YOU REMEMBER THE JOKE ABOUT WHY I'D HAVE A BATTLE OF WITS WITH YOU, BUT I HATE TO FIGHT AN UNARMED MAN!  CASE IN POINT!   HAVE A LOVELY DAY.  AND PLEASE DON'T FORGET THIS ONE THING PLEASE......  DON'T BE A HATER,BE A DONATE R!

PLEASE REMOVE YOUR BIN FROM OUR PREMISES BY THE NEXT 24 HOURS OR IT WILL BE CHOPPED UP AND SENT TO THE DUMP

what a write up! WOW these guys at E.C.C.A. are really awesome!

ok folks heres the deal as i see it. this company is indeed a non-profit org. this means that they ARE NOT a charity! there is a distinct difference! look it up with CRA (canada revenue agency) and do your own inquires and you'll find that this company is as legitimate as they come.  I know that this news must make you feel confused!  just as confused as the rest of citizens of our vast country have become because of the unfair publicity of the media!  they too are as confused as you are.  as my sleuth work has informed me that this company has been in business for several years now., and  i find it very hard to believe that our government would allow any business to remain in effect if they are not operating in a fashion in which they had intended to right.from the get go.  basically what i am saying is that E.C.C.A is operating well within the guidelines in which they must abide by.  I do not see any indication on these containers that would directly or indirectly indicate to anyone that your donations are to a charity.  it clearly states that they are a non profit org. and that's all there is too it.  furthermore i have discovered that in doing their operations in the fashion that they do is perhaps not the most courteous or business like approach, but is certainly the most effective way of getting their bins on the ground! efficiency is what this is!, is that not how successful business operate?  it's a 4 foot by 4 foot piece of probably unused turf that these bins use up 9 times out of 10,  come on, if you cant see the eco-friendly side of this business rather than believing that you are the victims of a scam, then frankly my dear, the people don't give a damn.  call the toll free number, leave a message as it politely suggests you do and wait for things to happen. peacefully.  don't fly off the handle like some lunatic, because that approach will get you nowhere. be civil and watch, and you'll begin  to see results happen before your very eyes.  the real scammers here are the CHARITY outfits such as the sally anne (salvation army) or how about canadian diabetes association(that would rather maintain their routes once a week, so your donations end up as waste because they're soaking wet or scattered across parking lots) and  company s such as goodwill for example.  these "charities" keep the $$$$ right in their own greedy pockets, with volunteers to help, and over priced goods in their" thrift" stores.  and don't you know that the items that they cannot sell, that  remain in circulation for extended periods of time from store to store until they too are loaded into a container right beside the others being shipped off to Africa or god knows where just the same as the rest!  believe it folks.  it's called economics! the new wave of the future.have you too been stuck  under a rock your whole life? oh and not to mention the CEO of goodwill having a 7 figure income!  also,  one more thing that i know first hand, is that E.C.C.A. does give back to the community in such a way that i am 100% satisfied with.  they have made a donation to a local organization on my behalf of a substantial amount here locally within my very own community. to an outfit in which I DECIDE the donation to go!  now does it get any better than that??  I get to decide where the donation goes in trade for a small , normally unused portion of property!   they have kept up with their promise of regular and routine service,  and prompt emergency cleanups if needed.  you know all the lovey crap that some disgusting people seem to think is worth donating. ie rotten couches or beds!  they come the same day to clean this filth up!  in my opinion they do a great job of a filthy business!!! for gods sake folks,  look past your own greedy pockets and think for a minute about the environmental impact that this business has developed. WOW huge tonnage of materials being diverted from landfills each and every day!.  i could go on and on, but think about it people, is it really as bad as you are making it out to be? they are not scammers but working people too. try working with them and you too will see for yourselvs just how much of a good thing that this really is.  come on try it, today. what have you got to loose? your shirt???? LOL  
DON"T BE A HATER  BE A DONATER!!!!!!!

This is very bad scam this so called company has going.  We need a member of our government to get involved.  Blue, red or green collar this is not right.  It cost us money now to have this taken off our private property.   Obviously this is not a charity or they would take all the proper steps to have these bins properly maintained.  All I can say is stop dropping these on private property!

Hello Bernie:  We had one bin dropped onto a plaza we manage and phoned and they said they would remove it and then they added another.  I saw your comment about 1-416-648-5422 and was trying to find the Kennedy  road address but couldn't find it.  Can you help me on this?  Thanks..Kay.

This company is fraud as all of you know by now. CBC has busted these guys. I have ask them to remove the box from our location if they don't do it by end of this week we will through it in garbage. By the way To: Bin Collectin you are not a hardworking blue collar worker you are crook who makes $3000 a week paycheck selling these clothes that people think is going to needy people.

I think it is safe to say that the others on this forum are annoyed that these Bin Collectors are collecting items and then dumping their poorly constructed bins in places where others must pay to have them disposed of.  We are hard working blue collar people, and don't appreciate others pretending to be collecting for a good cause, only to do who knows what with all of the goodies they get, and then throw the bins in places where they dont belong!

Could you please let me know what the address is on Kennedy Rd?  We also have had a bin dumped in our bin, and have called, but it has not been removed.
Thaks

If that's true, you're my new hero.  Awesome!!!
