On September 6, 2025, another Saturday clean-up was organized on Kuskonur and Kentaral streets of Karatau district. Employees of the district akimat, municipal institutions, and local residents actively participated in this event, jointly cleaning the streets and restoring order to the surrounding area.

The main goal of the Sabbath is to maintain the sanitary cleanliness of the city, timely disposal of household waste, beautify the streets, and create a comfortable living environment for residents . In addition, such events are intended to raise the environmental culture of city residents and form a sense of compassion for nature.

The Saturday event, held under the slogan "A Clean City is for All of Us," brought the local community together and increased residents' responsibility for their common home.

The work carried out during the weekend was extensive:

• Garbage piled up on the streets and sidewalks;

• Dead tree branches were cut and young seedlings were cared for;

• the grass was mowed and the green area was tidied up;

• garbage dumps were disinfected;

• The roadsides were swept and cleared of dust.

As a result of the cleaning work, Kuskonur and Kentaral streets were significantly improved, creating a more comfortable environment for residents.

Not only employees of state institutions, but also local residents actively participated in the Sabbath. This is a clear demonstration of civic responsibility.

The deputy akim of the district made a speech and thanked all the citizens who participated in the Sabbath:

"City cleanliness is not just a matter for municipal services, it is a common concern for all of us. If every resident contributes to keeping their yard and street clean, the appearance of Shymkent will change significantly ," he said.

Residents who participated in the Saturday event also shared their thoughts.

Retired aunt Aigul:
"Before, there was a lot of garbage on the streets. Now, Shabbat is organized more often, and we all participate together. This is a joy for us too, because it's nice to live in a clean environment."

Young entrepreneur Nurzhan:
"My shop is located on this street. If it is kept clean, it will be more convenient for both buyers and residents. That's why I was happy to participate in such an event."

Student Aruzhan:
"We, the youth, must also contribute. The city is our home. If we keep it clean ourselves, we will be an example for future generations."

In the Karatau district, Saturday clean-ups are traditionally held. Last year, cleaning activities were also organized on these streets, as a result of which household waste was significantly reduced. This year's Saturday clean-ups were attended by more residents than ever before. This shows that the population's environmental responsibility is growing.

Such Sabbaths are not only a means of cleaning, but also an important means of increasing environmental culture . Through the participation of young people, schoolchildren, and students, they learn to respect nature and care for the environment.

The principle of "A clean city is common to all of us" is becoming deeply embedded in society today. This shows that the city's culture has reached a new level.

The district akimat plans to continue holding regular Saturdays in the future. Especially in the fall, leaf collection, garbage disposal, and ditch cleaning will continue. In addition, it is planned to organize special environmental competitions to encourage residents to take care of their yards.

The cleanup on September 6 significantly improved the appearance of Kuskonur and Kentaral streets. As a result of the joint efforts of government employees and residents, the streets have become cleaner, more attractive, and more comfortable.

This event increased the responsibility of the city's residents and once again proved the principle that "a clean environment is a guarantee of health."
