Environmental Resources Division

The City of Antioch Environmental Resources Division is committed to creating a cleaner, healthier, and more vibrant community for current and future generations. Local Governments play an important role in protecting the environment, conserving natural resources, and reducing greenhouse gas emission. The Environmental Resources Division aims to empower the community of Antioch to reduce our impact and the impact of others on our local and global resources by providing green programs, incentives, and tips on resource conservation topics, such as, energy efficiency, waste and pollution prevention, and water conservation.

The City is working on updates to our Waste Prevention programs to address regulations related to California’s Short-Lived Climate Pollutant (SLCP) Reduction Strategy (SB1383).  Updates and information on this effort can be found here.

The change to a 3 sort program where food waste is composted involved a learning curve for all.  To help all who live, work or play in Antioch to become experts in sorting discards for resource recovery & educating their community about composting to combat climate change, the City is launching our Resource Recovery Ambassadors program, an exciting new training program we are offering starting January 2025! Participants will receive a stipend for attending this 2-part virtual & in-person training. Fill out our interest form HERE.
