On August 16, 2025, another cleanup day was held in Shymkent, organized as part of the national environmental campaign "Taza Kazakstan" (Clean Kazakhstan) . The goal of the event was to improve the city's sanitary conditions, raise public awareness of environmental issues, and foster a responsible attitude toward the environment.

Employees of the Department of Passenger Transport and Highways of the city of Shymkent , as well as the subordinate institution, the Dispatch Center , actively participated in the cleanup day.

In total, approximately 60 road industry specialists took part in the cleanup, bringing the necessary tools and equipment. The initiative demonstrated that maintaining a clean city is not just the responsibility of public utilities, but also the personal responsibility of every resident.

To ensure maximum efficiency, in addition to manual labor, specialized equipment was used. This allowed for the collection and removal of a large volume of household and construction waste in a short time.

The cleanup participants were provided with all the necessary equipment—shovels, rakes, and trash bags. The workers cleared roadside areas, bus stops, and green spaces. As a result, several trucks loaded with waste were transported to designated landfills.

The event was of great importance not only in terms of improvement, but also for the overall environmental situation in the city.

Such events help:

• reduce the level of environmental pollution;

• prevent the spread of infections and unpleasant odors;

• preserve green spaces and enhance their decorative appearance;

• to form an environmental culture among citizens.

A clean street, a well-maintained park, and a lack of litter are not just a visual treat, but an important factor influencing the health and well-being of city residents.

During the cleanup, many residents of the area watched the workers' work with interest, and some joined in and contributed to the cleanup. This demonstrated the power of an environmental initiative to unite people of all walks of life and ages for a common goal.

Residents expressed gratitude to the organizers for their work and noted that such events improve the level of comfort in the city.

It's particularly noteworthy that employees of the Passenger Transport and Highways Department participated in the cleanup. Their primary responsibilities involve maintaining transport infrastructure and passenger transportation, but their participation in the environmental campaign demonstrated their awareness of their social responsibility.

Their contribution to the cleanliness of the city can be seen as a continuation of the principle: “to work for society not only in a professional capacity, but also in the interests of the environment.”

Shymkent's development as a modern metropolis is impossible without environmental considerations. Convenient roads and modern buildings must harmoniously blend with clean streets, well-maintained parks, and fresh air.

Cleanup days and similar events are becoming an integral part of city life, as they create a comfortable environment for both adults and children.

The organizers announced that the "Taza Kazakhstan" environmental campaign will continue, and similar cleanup days will become regular events. In the future, they plan to involve not only government employees but also local residents, volunteers, youth groups, and business representatives .

This comprehensive approach will help build a system of sustainable care for the city and nature.

The cleanup day held in Shymkent on August 16, 2025 , became an example of unity and social responsibility. Thanks to the efforts of approximately 60 transportation workers, large areas of the city were cleaned, garbage was removed, and public spaces were tidied up.

This event served as a reminder that environmental protection is a shared responsibility, and that a clean city depends on everyone's contribution. Events like these not only improve Shymkent's appearance but also enhance the quality of life for its residents.

A clean city is the key to a comfortable life , and every cleanup day is a step towards a sustainable environmental future.
