A large-scale environmental campaign was held in the Kostanay region to coincide with the international initiative "World Cleanup Day." On this day, thousands of residents of the region came out to clean their areas, demonstrating unity and active civic engagement in environmental protection. The main work took place from the turnoff from the Fyodorovskaya Highway to the Severny solid waste landfill.

The campaign became truly massive. Similar events were held in all cities and districts of the region. Residents of Kostanay, Rudny, Lisakovsk, Arkalyk, and rural communities came out to clean streets, courtyards, coastal areas, and parks. This unified initiative covered virtually the entire region, highlighting the shared commitment of Kostanay residents to caring for the environment and their willingness to unite for a common goal—to make their region cleaner and more comfortable.

6,980 people took part in the event, including 2,560 government employees, 520 volunteers, and 3,900 regional residents. Through their combined efforts, 755 tons of waste were collected. Some of the waste was recycled: 0.5 tons of glass, 0.8 tons of plastic, 0.6 tons of rubber, and 0.3 tons of paper. The total area cleared was 150 hectares.

Kostanay Region has traditionally actively supported this initiative. Regional events demonstrate that caring for cleanliness and improvement is becoming a shared responsibility, involving government officials, volunteers, and ordinary residents. This approach not only improves the local environmental situation but also fosters a responsible attitude toward nature among the population.

The event was part of the state program "Taza Kazakhstan," aimed at raising environmental awareness and improving the environment. The success of the campaign confirmed that the combined efforts of society and government produce tangible results: clean streets, landscaped parks, and preserved natural areas contribute to a comfortable future for the region.
