On July 11, 2025, in the Kazygurt microdistrict of Shymkent, as part of the nationwide environmental campaign "Taza Kazakhstan", another clean-up day was held, uniting the efforts of public utilities, activists and local residents. The campaign was aimed at improving the sanitary condition of the district and forming an environmental culture among the population.

About 100 people took part in the event. 8 units of specialized equipment were used for the cleanup. As a result, several blocks were cleared, a significant amount of construction waste, sand, stones, and household waste was removed. The total volume of collected waste amounted to tens of tons, which were subsequently delivered to the official city landfill.

Particular attention was paid to spontaneous dumps and places where residents illegally stored building materials and unnecessary items. During the cleanup, cases of violation of sanitary standards were recorded, after which the violators were given verbal warnings and protocols were drawn up. Such measures are intended not only to restore order, but also to prevent repeated cases of littering.

Such events not only help to maintain cleanliness, but also have a positive effect on the urban ecology. Removal of construction waste reduces the risk of soil and groundwater pollution, and clean public spaces help improve air quality. In addition, green areas cleared of garbage again become a comfortable place for city residents to relax.

Compared to similar events in previous years, significant progress can be noted. For example, in 2023, the cleanup in this area was more localized, with fewer equipment and participants. In 2024, activity increased, but the events were not yet accompanied by such control measures and accountability as this year. In 2025, the approach became more systematic: not only public utilities were involved, but also local police officers and environmental services, which made it possible to cover a larger area and improve discipline among residents.

The clean-up day in Kazygurt became a clear example of how the joint efforts of society and the state give real results. Thanks to the coordinated work, it was possible not only to improve the sanitary condition of the area, but also to remind residents of the importance of personal responsibility for the cleanliness of the environment.

Local authorities plan to continue holding regular environmental campaigns and develop the practice of clean-up days with broad involvement of city residents. After all, cleanliness begins with every yard, and a conscious attitude to the environment - with every person.
