From August 1 to 14, 2025, Shymkent continues the ecological and humanitarian campaign “Clean City” within the framework of the national “Clean Kazakhstan” initiative. These events are based on the idea of maintaining ecology and public order, and instilling responsibility in the younger generation. During the campaign, law enforcement officers and local akimat employees jointly organize raids, as a result of which residents and business entities who violate sanitary standards will be brought to administrative responsibility. In addition, strict measures will be taken against noise in public places and actions that violate public order. The most important area of attention is the cleanliness and order of yards, streets, parks and squares, and other recreation areas. During the current campaign, large-scale public awareness campaigns are being conducted among residents about keeping their surroundings clean, disposing of garbage in special places, and respecting the peace of neighbors and others.

If we recall previous years, similar actions were organized in Shymkent districts as part of the "Clean Kazakhstan" campaign in 2024. However, at that time, the raids were mainly aimed at collecting garbage and cleaning the streets, and control over public order was tightened only in the evening. As a result, some residents in the inner districts perceived the work as a temporary action and did not attach importance to the culture of maintaining order and cleanliness for a long time.

In 2023, the scope of activities was much more limited: the campaign was mostly focused on central parks. Only within this framework, attention was paid to cleaning public spaces, and residents were informed only at meetings. However, this did not have a long-term effect, as residents did not take responsibility for regular cleanliness as a whole.

In 2025, the situation will change dramatically. The Clean City campaign is aimed at creating not only cleanliness, but also a sustainable culture of order. It will create an ecological lifestyle that will become a daily habit of residents, not just a means of exploitation. In each district of the city, raids will be fully covered, and information points will be created so that residents can keep their yards clean. For example, children's essay competitions, environmental quizzes, and videos promoting integrity and cleanliness will be widely distributed on social networks.

It is worth noting that this year's campaign is set to be special. For the first time, the police and the akimat are working together not only to work with residents on issues of littering, noise, and non-compliance with sanitary requirements, but also to educate and warn entrepreneurs. As a good practice, a person himself changes his city - the goal of the campaign is to encourage residents to contribute to the formation of an ecological culture.

Local intergovernmental organizations are also providing comprehensive support to residents: answering questions, installing special garbage containers and sanitary facilities, and installing beautifully designed compositions in public places. These steps have a clear impact on residents - this is how the principle of "My city is my responsibility" begins to take root.

The main conclusion: the “Clean City” campaign, launched in 2025, not only strengthened public order and environmental responsibility, but also increased the care and awareness of residents about their environment. Experience from past years has shown that if campaigns are only temporary, the results will be temporary. And regular campaigns and properly targeted explanatory work affect the habits of society. Now the residents of Shymkent are becoming the best defenders of the Clean City.
