On September 13, 2025, a large-scale citywide cleanup event, "Clean City," took place in Shymkent. Active work also took place in the Turansky District. The event aimed to improve the district's sanitary conditions, enhance the city's environmental awareness, and strengthen the tradition of jointly caring for cleanliness and beautification.

The cleanup day was coordinated by the Turansky District Akim's Office. Utility workers, government officials, representatives of various organizations, and district residents participated in the event.

The main figures from the clean-up day are as follows:

• On behalf of the district akim’s office : 380 employees took part, 26 units of special equipment were used, and about 18 tons of solid household waste were removed.

• Overall , 830 people participated in the event, 39 pieces of equipment were used, and 23 tons of waste were removed to landfills.

These data indicate the coordinated actions and high level of involvement of various structures and residents of the district in the common cause.

During the cleanup day in the Turansky District, various sanitary and improvement activities were carried out. These included:

• Trimming dead trees and branches – to ensure the safety of passers-by and to preserve green spaces.

• Mowing grass and weeds - especially along roads, in yards and vacant lots.

• Cleaning of roads and sidewalks – special equipment washed away dust and dirt, which significantly improved the appearance of the streets.

• Garbage removal and container site cleaning – all collected waste was promptly delivered to specialized landfills.

• Disinfection work – sanitary measures have improved hygiene and reduced the risk of infection spread.

The work was carried out not only on central streets, but also in residential areas, courtyards, and areas adjacent to educational and medical institutions.

It's important to emphasize that the "Clean City" cleanup day is not only practical but also educational. Participation in such events instills in citizens a sense of responsibility for the environment.

Particular attention was paid to engaging young people. Pupils and students, taking part in the cleanup, saw firsthand the importance of each individual's personal contribution to maintaining cleanliness. For the older generation, this became an opportunity to set a personal example and impart to younger generations the values of caring for nature and the urban environment.

Environmental awareness starts with small actions: not throwing trash past the trash can, tending to the trees in your yard, and participating in community improvement campaigns. The cleanup day became a platform for reiterating these simple yet important ideas to neighborhood residents.

The cleanup day was a shining example of community unity. Not only municipal services but also employees of the city's social, cultural, tourism, and agricultural organizations participated in the event. Everyone contributed in their own way—some provided equipment, others came out in person with shovels and rakes, and still others helped organize waste removal.

This collaborative effort not only makes the city cleaner but also fosters trust among people and improves interactions between residents and government agencies. During the cleanup, many residents noted that collaborative efforts bring people together, making the neighborhood more cohesive, and fostering warmer relationships between neighbors.

The "Clean City" campaign is not new and has already established itself as an important environmental and social initiative. The Turansky District intends to continue this tradition and regularly organize similar events.

The administration plans to hold seasonal cleanup days and expand the range of activities, from planting new trees to landscaping courtyards and small architectural features. Public health education efforts aimed at increasing environmental awareness will also continue.

Residents of the area are encouraged to actively support these initiatives and remember: cleanliness and order depend not only on public services, but also on the conscientiousness of each individual.

The cleanup day on September 13, 2025, in the Turansky District became a significant event for the entire city. 830 participants, nearly 40 pieces of equipment, and over 23 tons of garbage removed—these figures reflect the scale of the work accomplished.

But the campaign's main achievement isn't just restoring order; it's demonstrating once again that only through joint efforts can we make our city clean, comfortable, and safe to live in.

A clean city isn't a one-time initiative, but a way of life. And every Shymkent resident can contribute to this.
