NJSSA's Annual Operation Clean Sweep is scheduled for October 17, 2009. Operation Clean Sweep is a social outreach project of the New Jersey Sanitary Supply Association. Now in its 16th year, NJSSA's Operation Clean Sweep was founded in 1993 and was expanded to other regional and state associations as a volunteer community service program. In 1995, Operation Clean Sweep became a national community-based program of the International Sanitary Supply Association. In 1996, "Operation Clean Sweep" received an award of excellence from the American Society of Association Executives "Advance America" campaign. Nationally, over 1,000 member companies have participated in Operation Clean Sweep over the years with more than 500 member company volunteers participating in the yearly events.
 
Operation Clean Sweep selects deserving community-based facilities each year to which janitorial and sanitary supplies are donated or at which NJSSA member volunteers go onsite to clean the selected facility. In 2007, the 15th Annual Operation Clean Sweep was held at HomeFront in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. Over 25 NJSSA members and their friends and families volunteered to clean this facility, and 20 NJSSA member companies donated cleaning supplies and equipment which was housed at Norshel Industries in Croydon, PA. In 2008, jan-san product and monetary donations were presented to Mayor Corey Booker of Newark to be used for the City of Newark and its Neighborhood Services facilities.
 
Operation Clean Sweep Chair, Dan Rubinstein, is visiting NJ facilities to select the 2009 cleaning location. NJSSA Members will receive volunteer and donation forms in July.
