2022 SWEEPER OF THE YEAR
The company succeeds by diversifying services while always striving for excellence
E
stablished in 1999, Millennium Maintenance and Power Sweeping (MMPS) founder David Ross had a vision for developing a sweeping and full-service maintenance firm. “I was looking to start a new business after years of working in the waste management industry and spent some time working for a food carting

business,” said Ross, owner of MMPS. “After extensively researching the sweeping industry, I thought it looked like a good fit and decided to go into business, purchasing my first sweeper in 2000.” Similar to many small business contractors just starting off in the industry, Ross personally performed the sweeping services for his customers at night and by day, he was playing the role of salesperson. Soon, MMPS would see an accelerated growth period, transforming from just a parking lot sweeping company into a construction and municipal sweeping
contractor and diversify into other areas including exterior and interior facility maintenance. Most recently, MMPS established a waste division with roll off work. “Early on, I figured out that in order to grow in a way I initially thought of, I would need to offer a variety of services apart from just parking lot sweeping,” said Ross. “I began hiring employees that could help me cover the unique needs of my customers. Combining the expanding service offerings and staff to complete the jobs, the company was able to grow at a rapid pace.”
