In Almaty, on behalf of the mayor of the city, Yerbolat Dosayev, old mercury and sodium (HCS and RCU) lanterns are being replaced with new LED lights. In 10 months of this year, more than five thousand lighting fixtures have already been replaced in the city.The replacement of lamps covered entire streets and neighborhoods. For example, in the Nauryzbai district, 335 new lanterns were installed instead of the old ones at the intersection of Abai and Alatau Avenues. 260 lamps were replaced on Suyunbai Avenue in the Turksib district from Bekmakhanov Street to Krasnogorskaya. 120 lamps were changed on the streets of the Kokzhiyok microdistrict in the Zhetysu district, the same number in the Zerdeli microdistrict of the Alatau district."We had old yellow lanterns in the Shapagat neighborhood near school No. 151, which burned very dimly, it was still dark outside with the lights on. The children returned from lessons in semi-darkness, the parents worried and complained to the akimat. And now they finally heard us. The Almaty Kala Zharyk brigade arrived and replaced all the lanterns with new ones. They shine very brightly, now it's light outside at night, like in the daytime, we thank the company and the akimat for their comfort and care," says Sarah Janetova, an activist of the microdistrict."We are very glad that new powerful lamps have been installed for us, which now fully illuminate all the courtyards and the roadway on Bayseitova Street, where I live. There used to be old lamps here, which were of little use, they illuminated only a small spot in front of them and that was it. In addition, as we have learned, the new fixtures are much more economical. Previously, we had lamps of 300 and even 500 watts, now we have installed 100-watt ones, and there is much more light from them," explains Alexey Kasyanov from Almaty.As told in Almaty Kala Zharyk, a high-quality LED lamp can continuously work up to 50,000 hours – this is 30 times longer than old-style devices. At the same time, energy savings can reach up to 90%. In addition, LED lamps do not cause difficulties with disposal, since they do not contain mercury and sodium.Work on replacing old fixtures with new ones will continue in 2025. They are conducted jointly with the district akimats, on whose balance sheet the city's outdoor lighting lines consist.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almaty/press/news/details/892248

The autumn landscaping campaign in Almaty, which started in October this year within the framework of the republican program "Taza Kazakhstan", is actively continuing. At the moment, about 160 thousand seedlings have been planted in the city.An important innovation in 2023 was the new Rules of landscaping, introduced on behalf of the mayor of the city. According to the rules, three years of care for planted trees is now mandatory, which ensures a more effective process of adaptation of plants to the urban environment. Strict requirements for planting materials have also been introduced: the height of deciduous seedlings should be at least 2.5-3 meters, and coniferous seedlings should be at least 2 meters, preserving the lump of earth during planting to improve the survival of trees.Residents note that the quality of the planted materials has significantly improved in the city."With the new rules on landscaping, it has become much more pleasant to walk in the city. The trees that are being planted now really look better - they are stronger, greener and grow well. Previously, many plants did not take root, but now we see how trees develop and become street decorations. This makes our city even more beautiful and comfortable to live in," says resident Anna."Now it is clear that the approaches to gardening have really changed. The trees that we now see on the streets are much stronger and healthier. Previously, planted plants often did not take root due to the wrong approach, but now you can see how they grow and become part of the urban beauty," says a resident of the Auezovsky district of Denmark.In order to increase the survival rate of seedlings, as well as to obtain scientific recommendations, joint work is underway with specialized organizations - the Main Botanical Garden of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the KazNII for Plant Protection and Quarantine named after Zh. Zhiembayev. According to the received recommendations of experts, in the autumn-winter period, planting should be carried out only with a closed lump of earth, and when subzero temperatures occur, imported soil should be used to fill the seats. Scientists also recommend paying attention to the threshold values: when planting, the comfortable temperature for hardwoods is up to – 8 °C, for conifers not lower than -15 ° C degrees below zero.Recall that in Almaty, on the eve of the winter period, within the framework of the republican program "Taza Kazakhstan" and the city campaign "Almaty is our common home", a large–scale cleaning of the street and road network, public places, riverbeds, street urns and a ditch network is being carried out.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almaty/press/news/details/891062

On behalf of the mayor of the city, Yerbolat Dosayev, work continues in Almaty to provide citizens with high-quality outdoor lighting.

Now we live like people," says Bakhyt Arystanova, Chairman of the Kazanat AXIS"Our Mukaeva Street in the Akbulak microdistrict is a dead end, and for some reason there was no street lighting at the very end of it. And a large family lives here, and it was very scary for the students to return from classes in the dark. Lighting was installed very quickly, literally the next day after contacting Almaty Kala Zharyk, a team arrived, dug holes and installed poles. A day later, the lanterns were hung up and connected, and now we have a bright and bright street, it's a real holiday for the residents. A huge human thank you to everyone," says Lunara Sembayeva, a resident of the Alatau district.According to Almaty Kala Zharyk, by the end of the year, 25 more previously unlit streets and alleys will be illuminated in the city.

In Almaty, within the framework of the "Taza Kazakhstan" concept, large-scale work continues to improve the sanitary condition of the city. On behalf of Akim Yerbolat Dosayev, modern buried-type garbage containers are being installed. Since the beginning of the year, 650 buried containers have been installed at 128 sites, and by the end of the year, another 136 will be installed at 14 sites. These containers have a number of advantages: they are completely closed, protected from access by stray animals and birds, eliminate unpleasant odors and improve the appearance of yard areas. In 2025-2026, it is planned to install more than 2,000 buried containers in the city. They have a larger capacity, take up less space and are equipped with fireproof burlaps made of polypropylene material. A special plastic tray at the bottom of the container prevents liquid leakage. New containers have already appeared in Auezov and Bostandyk districts. In Zhetysu district, some installed containers will be serviced after the purchase of appropriate equipment from next year. In the Turksib district, worn-out garbage cans have been replaced with new ones at several sites. Work in this direction continues. Residents note the convenience and aesthetic appearance of the installed containers. "These tanks are not only comfortable, but also have a modern, aesthetic appearance, which significantly improves the appearance of the area. This is an important step towards landscaping, and I urge all residents to show responsibility: let's respect our common work and not leave garbage next to containers," Anastasia, a resident of the Almagul microdistrict, addresses the neighbors. "Previously, iron containers were often corroded, especially in the summer, when high temperatures increased the smell. Now, with the installation of new containers, this problem will finally be solved. We can count on a much cleaner and more comfortable area, where it will be pleasant for all residents to live," said Victoria Gorbunova, a resident of the Bostandyk district. In general, a number of initiatives are being implemented in Almaty to encourage separate waste collection:•more than 1,200 eco-boxes are located in the city's organizations;•There are 11 fandomats for receiving plastic and aluminum bottles;•500 grain waste collection containers have been installed;•There are 8 recycling collection points.
