The Antioch Police Department is excited to announce the 55th installment of the Neighborhood Cleanup Program. This is a collaborative community effort which involves active participation from The Antioch Police Department Crime Prevention Commission; Neighborhood Watch Program; Volunteers in Police Service; community volunteers and the Public Works Department.
Collectively, “We”, everyone who works and lives in the City Antioch, can make a difference and improve the quality of life. It’s our community and it’s our chance to make a difference.
The City of Antioch Neighborhood Cleanup program is not just for residential neighborhoods. It is a program that will change venues on a monthly basis and it will include business and commercial areas as well. Neighborhoods that are free of trash and refuse are inviting, and a clean community instills a sense of community pride.
The 55th Neighborhood Cleanup event will occur on Saturday, October 4th from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. in the neighborhoods surrounding Sycamore Drive. Volunteers should report to the Lowe’s parking lot on the Mahogany Way side.
Volunteers will receive instructions and the equipment necessary to accomplish the goal. The targeted area is within walking distance. Excluding inclement weather, future Neighborhood Cleanup events are scheduled for the first Saturday of every month and the locations will be announced in advance.
Remember, cleaning up your neighborhood can make life better for your family, your neighbors and your community!

Neighborhood clean up. We have been trying to get 132 Merrill Drive, Antioch cleaned up for almost a decade. Between the homeless, drug labs, and the people going in a taking anything of value,
and now with the last fire, which (will) be the last fire because it is totally demolished, where do we go from here. When it was a property of obvious neglect, we did what we could do. Now it is up to the city. It is a danger as well as a eye sore. Yes, we have contacted our council with no reaction from them. If anyone has a thought as to what we can do please respond. If you are able do a drive by then you will see what we are speaking about. Thank you.
will we have a police escort?
I remember that house. It was involved in a family dispute when the owner died. I can’t believe you are still dealing with it. The city should move forward with abatement and put a lien on the property. Sad you still have to deal with it. Contact Ryan Graham at the city to see if they will do that. I know you probably have already done that but in case you have not.
Thank you!
Too bad we don’t have an annual neighborhood criminal round up. That would be putting the real garbage in the trash!
