On August 16, another clean-up was held in Shymkent, organized by the Turan municipal state institution. This time, the cleaning activities covered several addresses: Aktas microdistrict, houses No. 3, 4a, 4b, 5, 6 of the 3rd subdistrict, houses No. 32, 34, 36, 36a, 40, 42 of the 8th subdistrict along Mangeldina Street, as well as large-scale work was carried out at addresses No. 30 on Temirlan highway and No. 28, 30, 32 on Poshanov Street. During the clean-up, yard areas, streets and pedestrian paths were cleaned of garbage, dried grass was collected, and children's playgrounds and areas around trees were put in order.

The main goal of this event is to create a comfortable environment for residents, ensure the cleanliness of public spaces, and most importantly, set an example for the younger generation. It is known that the city's territory is beautified not only by the work of special institutions, but also by the activity of residents. Therefore, the merit of each citizen who participated in the Shabbat is great, and their activity is evidence of the true cultural image of the city.

The most important thing is that the cleaning work is organized not only as a one-day campaign, but also on a regular basis. The "Turan" institution continues to work in this direction systematically every week. In the future, it is planned to cover other districts of the city. Such consistency clearly demonstrates that this is a common cause aimed at increasing the responsibility of residents for the environment and beautifying the city.

Compared to previous years' cleanups, the cleanup campaigns organized in 2022–2023 were mostly seasonal. Especially in the spring and autumn months, mowing dry grass on the outskirts of the city and cleaning ditches were prioritized. The main feature of the current events is that they are gradually integrated into everyday life and have become a regular process. Previously, representatives of public utilities mainly participated in cleanup activities, but now residents themselves are actively involved and are eager to work together as neighbors. This change clearly shows the growing culture of the city.

In addition, in recent years, the scope of the Sabbath activities has expanded, not being limited to one area, but covering several small districts and streets at once. For example, during the Sabbath activities on August 16 this year, work was carried out at seven different locations at once. This indicates that the organization has reached a high level.

Another important aspect of the Sabbath is the participation of young people. In previous years, such events were mainly attended by municipal workers, but now young volunteers, students and schoolchildren are also taking part. For them, this is the first step in forming an ecological culture and showing compassion for their hometown. Thus, the younger generation has begun to accept the idea of nature conservation and maintaining a clean environment as a way of life.

Shymkent, as a rapidly developing metropolis in recent years, is often faced with environmental problems due to the increase in construction and traffic. Therefore, maintaining cleanliness is one of the most pressing issues on the agenda. It is known that the cleanliness of the city not only has an aesthetic effect, but also has a direct impact on the health of residents. An environment with clean yards and streets free of garbage is safe for children and comfortable for adults.

In this context, the Saturday, August 16, is of great importance. It once again reminded the city's residents: "Cleanliness is our common cause!" In order for this slogan to remain not only on paper, but to be realized in real life, the contribution of every citizen is necessary. The activity of residents is the main guarantee of the city's transformation into a truly civilized and cultural center.

It is planned to organize such clean-ups more often in the future. The city administration, together with residents, is considering new ways to maintain cleanliness. These include separate garbage collection, development of a recycling system, and promotion of environmental culture among residents.

The main feature of today's cleanup is its consistency. If earlier such measures were perceived as short-term campaigns, now they are becoming a daily way of life. Such cleanup actions once again prove that cleanliness is not only the work of public utilities, but the common responsibility of all city residents.

In conclusion, the August 16th Senbilik was one of the important steps towards the formation of an ecological culture in Shymkent. This initiative will undoubtedly become a sustainable process that will make the city prosperous in the future, creating a comfortable and safe environment for residents. It is clear that if each resident contributes to keeping their yard clean, the whole city will become more beautiful, green and bright.
