Helping our Local United Way

At SBM we have always had a commitment to our community. We participate in numerous fundraisers and projects that contribute to the betterment of our communities. This year we added a new program that would increase the awareness of our community’s needs. So in the second half of 2012 SBM decided to use a portion of the proceeds of our sales of our private label copy paper as our means of raising funds for all United Ways in our selling area. We designed our carton labels to show commitment to this campaign. The United Way logo is proudly displayed on each carton showing the commitment SBM has to helping our local United Ways. We then had our staff promote the paper and the campaign to our existing customers. (This paper is the same great paper we have sold for years, but with a new label.)

Our customers embraced the promotion and support of their United Way. We tallied our sales and calculated the proceeds for your United Way. It is with great pleasure that we were able to present the United Way of Whiteside County with over $870 to use on office supplies, break room, and janitorial supplies from our online ordering site at www.callsbm.com. In all SBM was able to obtain proceeds for 12 are United Ways.

Get rid of that old mop bucket and keep your floors clean.

How many places whether a restaurant, school, or cafeteria do you go to and see that familiar yellow sign that reads: Caution Wet Floor? Sure it may look like those floors are being cleaned but do you ever take a look at that old mop bucket that is typically being used? Most of the time it is filled with disgusting, dirty water that has just been removed from the floor only to be flopped back on to the same floor it just came from. This is definitely an example of working harder, not smarter!

The Fix:
Rubbermaid HYGEN Clean Water System Bucket and Wringer – featuring the industry’s first integrated water filter that cleans the water so you can clean the floor.

The Rubbermaid Hygen system allows you to remove dirt and grime out of cleaning water by utilizing a filtering chamber that has an integrated filter. All you do is simply tilt the bucket 90 degrees by pressing the handle. This allows the dirty water to transfer to the filter chamber. Once it is completely transferred to the chamber just rotate the bucket back to the upright position, and voila! You have clean, filtered water.
