We use deep near-infrared and submillimeter observations of three massive lensing cluster fields, A370, A851, and A2390, to determine the average submillimeter properties of a K'-selected sample. The 38 Extremely Red Objects (EROs; I-K'>4) with K'<21.25 have a very significant error-weighted mean 850-micron flux of 1.58 +/- 0.13 mJy. The ERO contribution to the 850-micron background is 1.88 +/- 0.16 x 10^4 mJy per square degree, or about half the background light. The 17 Very Red Objects (VROs; 3.5
