On August 7, 2025, a large-scale campaign for sanitary cleaning and improvement of the territory, organized by ShymkentSpetsKompleks LLP, was held in the Turansky district of Shymkent. The event became the next stage of systematic work to improve the environmental situation, create comfortable living conditions for citizens and form a modern urban environment.

On this day, dozens of the company's employees and a significant amount of equipment worked in different parts of the district. Particular attention was paid to places where household waste accumulates, weeds grow, and areas requiring sanitary tree pruning.

As part of the manual cleaning on Kozhanova, Zhanibekova, Pavlova, Moldagulova and Ismailova streets, 69 employees and 7 units of special equipment were involved. The workers removed garbage, cleared sidewalks and adjacent areas of fallen leaves, branches and dirt. To enhance the effect, a mobile team of 11 people was brought in, which went on night duty and continued working in those areas that could not be covered during the day. This allowed us to cover more streets and make the cleaning more effective.

20 specialists joined the landscaping work. They mowed lawns and cut grass on Dulati, Kazybek bi, Ryskulova and Kunayev streets. At other sites, employees loosened the soil near flowerbeds, reseeded the lawn, watered flower beds and carried out sanitary pruning of trees. These activities not only improve the appearance of the area, but also help strengthen the ecosystem, preventing overgrowth and maintaining the balance of green spaces.

A separate block was the washing of bus stops. Using high-pressure equipment, 100 bus stop pavilions were cleaned, which significantly improved the sanitary condition of public spaces. The work was carried out on the central and secondary streets: Baiterekova, Adyrbekova, Baidibek bi, Ryskulova, Kunaeva, Zheltoksan, Tauke khan, Beibitshilik, Abay, Gagarina, Mangeldin, Kaldayakova, Zhandarbekova, Otyrar, Bekbolatova and Aishykty.

The goal of the campaign is not just to clean the area, but also to create a sense of care for the city among residents, to form a culture of maintaining cleanliness and the green appearance of the area. The organizers note that the regularity of such events is of key importance. A single cleaning gives only a temporary result, while a systematic approach allows maintaining the achieved level of improvement.

If we compare this campaign with similar events of previous years, we can notice several significant changes. Previously, cleaning works were often carried out selectively and were mainly one-time in nature, timed to coincide with holidays or seasonal events. In 2019-2021, attempts were already made in Shymkent to carry out mass cleaning of districts, but then the coverage of territories was smaller, and the participation of residents was limited.

Today, the trend has changed: city authorities and public utilities are focusing on comprehensiveness and regularity. For example, as part of the republican environmental campaign "Taza Kazakhstan" in 2023, attention was paid mainly to coastal areas and places of mass recreation. At that time, it was possible to attract a large number of volunteers, but landscaping activities were limited. In the current format of the campaigns, as in the case of the Turansky district, landscaping work has become an integral part of the process, and washing bus stops and caring for small architectural forms are included in the mandatory list of tasks.

Another difference is the use of modern technology and the distribution of workers into specialized teams. This made it possible to perform different types of work in parallel, which significantly accelerated the process and improved the quality. If earlier, for example, mowing the grass and cleaning up the garbage were carried out on different days, now all these operations are carried out within one day, which helps residents feel the results faster.

The community of the district also responded positively. In social networks, city residents published photos of clean streets and well-kept lawns, noted that it had become more pleasant to use bus stops, and the air in the district felt fresher. Residents expressed hope that such events would be held not only in the central quarters, but also in remote microdistricts, where the problem of cleanliness is more acute.

The long-term effect of such actions is expressed not only in improving the aesthetic appearance of the city, but also in creating favorable conditions for the health of the population. Clean streets reduce the risk of spreading infections, and green areas have a positive effect on the microclimate and psychological state of residents.

Overall, the comprehensive cleaning in the Turansky district has become a good example of how, with proper organization and interaction of public utilities, significant results can be achieved in a short time. If this pace and approach are maintained, we can expect that in the coming years Shymkent will be among the cleanest and greenest cities in the country.

Such attention to detail and the systematic nature of the events allow us to say that the city authorities are making a serious bet on the ecology and quality of the urban environment, and are not limited to temporary actions. And this instills confidence that Shymkent will develop as a modern, comfortable and environmentally safe metropolis.
