The Antioch Police Department announced its 69th installment of the Neighborhood Cleanup Program.
The 68th Neighborhood Cleanup event will occur on Saturday, March 5th from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at Lucena Way and Lopez Dr. We will be cleaning the neighborhoods along Lopez Dr. from Gentrytown Dr. to Carmona Way.
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.
Excluding inclement weather, future Neighborhood Cleanup events are scheduled for the first Saturday of every month and the locations will be announced in advance.

Good! people litter on Gentrytown right after 711 and before, non stop everyday. We are constantly picking it up. Delta Fair between Sommersville and Buchanan Is always full of trash too. Along the wall right on Delta Fair, where there is homeless camps. Behind the old CVS. It is disgusting in that area!! Needles, trash, poop, it is so bad! Wish they city would help clean it up! It would bring more businesses and they would get more tax dollars, but I dont know why they don’t. In the area next to the Sommersville Car Wash is dark, no signs posted to people stop loiterring and right where the wall ends on delta fair, people hang out there, do drugs, all type of illegal stuff everyday. It’s in plain sight.They even put chairs there and hang out like its a park! it’s not!
Gotta love the ghetto and their ghetto ways.
I know! The thing is, it isn’t too ghetto into the neighborhoods off Gentrytown! If they put in a little more effort and cleaned things up! It would all look great and more business would come! But they dont! They allow the homeless to over take the shopping center off Delta Fair where Big Lots is and don’t do much to keep them out! They litter, they camp, they make a mess every day and night with no one stopping them. It’s unfair to the business there. They need to put more pressure on them to get better lighting, get car patrols to shoo away the loiterring, clean up the garbage everyday, clean up the grafatti and watch this area turn into a busy and new place. They are lazy!
