Saturday: Antioch Police to Host Neighborhood Cleanup

The Antioch Police Department will host the 73rd installment of the Neighborhood Cleanup Program on Saturday, August 6 from 9:00 am to 11:00 am at Gentrytown Park. They  will be cleaning the neighborhoods between Monterey Dr. and Mission Dr. down to Rio Grande Drive and Gentrytown Park.

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.

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.
