May 5: Antioch Set for Neighborhood Cleanup

The Antioch Police Department will host a Neighborhood Cleanup Program on Saturday May 5 from 9:00 am to 11:00 am.

The event will be cleaning the neighborhood around E. Tregallas Road from Center Lane to Windsor Way and south to Worrell Road to Shaddick Drive. Volunteers should meet at Belshaw Elementary (2801 Roosevelt Lane).

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.

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.
