OPERATION CLEANSWEEP – Meet Ups Monthly Workshop

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), in partnership with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Service (FDACS) invites you to join us for a discussion on the “2018 – 2019 Operation Cleansweep Program”.

This program is primarily focused on the collections of pesticide or fertilizer/pesticide containers known to contain CSUP ingredients. Improperly managed, these materials have the potential of contaminating the ground water – our drinking water supply.
Operation Cleansweep provides farmers, nursery operators, golf course operators and pest control services. The program is a mobile pesticides collection program that provides a safe way to dispose of cancelled, suspended and unusable pesticides. Proper disposal can be costly and a regulatory burden for small farmers and other pesticide users. Operation Cleansweep offers an opportunity to avoid these formidable barriers and to promote safe and environmentally sound pesticide use, handling and disposal.
