In Shymkent, one of the fastest growing cities in Kazakhstan, the Turan district is becoming an example of a systematic approach to maintaining urban cleanliness and environmental well-being. Every day, employees of the ShymkentSpetsKompleks municipal service work here, implementing a comprehensive program of cleaning, landscaping and improvement. These works are carried out regardless of the season, weather or holidays, because the cleanliness of the city is not a one-time action, but a constant need.

The work covers both main streets and highways, as well as park areas, bus stops, sidewalks, and courtyards. Specialized equipment regularly goes out onto the streets for mechanized washing of the roadway. This allows not only to remove dust and dirt, but also to refresh the asphalt surface in hot weather, creating a more comfortable environment for all road users.

Additionally, during the hottest hours, modern equipment is used to spray cooling water upwards to lower the air temperature. This practice helps combat overheating of urban spaces and improves the microclimate.

Sidewalks, pedestrian paths, and bus stops are also not left without attention. They are cleaned manually, employees collect garbage, sweep dust, wash surfaces, and disinfect. It is especially important to maintain cleanliness in places where the greatest concentration of people occurs - this is not only a matter of aesthetics, but also of sanitary safety.

Much attention is paid to green areas. The grass is mown, lawns are carefully trimmed, and sanitary pruning of trees is carried out. Excess dry or overhanging branches are removed to prevent them from falling and to ensure healthy plant growth. Flower beds and trees are regularly watered, and the soil around them is loosened - this is necessary to saturate the roots with oxygen and moisture.

These activities directly contribute to improving the environmental situation in the area. Reducing the amount of dust in the air, the presence of greenery, cleaned roads and sidewalks - all this affects the health of city residents, reduces the level of pollution, and contributes to a favorable atmosphere.

If we compare the current situation with previous years, we can note significant improvements. Previously, such work was carried out mainly during seasonal clean-up days or in preparation for state holidays. Often, the cleaning was superficial and covered only the central streets. Today, the Turansky District has a permanent cleaning schedule that covers all residential and public areas, including peripheral streets and new microdistricts.

This systematic approach began in 2023, when the city administration decided to strengthen control over the sanitary condition of the districts. New units of equipment were purchased, the staff was increased, and modern quality control standards were introduced. For example, the introduction of GPS monitoring of cleaning equipment routes made it possible to reduce duplication of sites and increase efficiency.

In 2024, pilot programs for daily greening and watering proved their effectiveness, and by the summer of 2025, these measures became a regular part of the work of public utilities. As a result, there was a noticeable decrease in complaints from citizens, an increase in satisfaction with living conditions, and an improvement in the visual appearance of the area.

It is especially worth noting that such actions are important not only for improvement, but also for the formation of a culture of cleanliness among the population. When people see the result of daily care for the city, they begin to treat their area more consciously: do not litter, protect green spaces, maintain order.

Thus, the daily work of the municipal services of the Turansky district is not just cleaning and watering. This is a strategic contribution to the sustainable development of the urban environment, preserving the environment and improving the quality of life. Shymkent is confidently moving towards the status of a truly comfortable and clean city in which one wants to live and develop.
