RBGA Awards Sanders Waste Systems September Small Business of the Month

Alton – Robert ‘Bob’ Sanders Waste Systems, Inc. was named the River Bend Growth Association’s September 2017 Small Business of the Month.   
The business that started in 1936 has been passed down from Bob Sr. to sons Bobby and Glenn.  The brothers have grown Sanders Waste Systems into a thriving business serving Madison, St. Clair, Jersey, Calhoun, Greene, Macoupin, Montgomery, Bond, Clinton, Washington and Monroe Counties in Illinois and St. Louis and St. Charles Counties in Missouri.                                                                                                
Known for their generosity, the Sanders brothers are quick to help churches in their service area by donating dumpsters when they have picnics or outdoor fundraising events.  Sanders also had roll-off containers painted pink to give visibility to those struggling with breast cancer.  When a customer requests a pink roll-off container Sanders will donate 20% of proceeds to Working Towards a Cure.  Working Towards a Cure is a 100% volunteer run organization that pays for things that insurance cannot or will not pay for for breast cancer patients in Madison, St. Clair and Jersey counties in Illinois.  There are no salaries, no utilities and no overhead taken out of the money that is donated. 

The RiverBend Growth Association selects a small business to honor each month. Winners are selected based on a scoring system that awards points for number of years in business, number of employees, overcoming adversity and  community service.
