On September 20, 2025, a large-scale citywide cleanup event entitled "Clean City" took place in Shymkent. Government agencies, employees of various departments and institutions, and district services actively participated in this environmental campaign. The Al-Farabi district was one of the leaders in terms of the number of participants and the volume of work completed. The main goal of the cleanup event was to improve the city's sanitary conditions, raise environmental awareness among the population, and create a favorable, clean, and safe environment for residents.

The Al-Farabi District Akim's Office (Al-Farabi KGKP) was one of the main organizers of the event. 100 employees participated in the cleanup, using seven pieces of equipment. Thanks to their efforts, 20 tons of waste were collected and removed. This achievement speaks volumes about the scale of the work accomplished, as well as the high level of organization of the team. The employees not only removed solid waste but also cut down dead branches, mowed the grass, washed roads and sidewalks, cleaned container sites, and performed other sanitation tasks.

The Housing Department also made a significant contribution to the cleanup. Twenty-five department employees participated in the cleanup, removing approximately 0.5 tons of trash. Their primary focus was on the sanitary condition of courtyards and residential areas, as well as the improvement of waste disposal sites. In addition, department representatives conducted outreach to residents, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the cleanliness of their courtyards and neighborhoods.

The work was primarily conducted on school and kindergarten grounds. The school courtyards were cleaned, shrubs were trimmed, and accumulated trash was removed.

The Department of Religious Affairs played a key role in the cleanup. It deployed over 700 employees and three pieces of equipment. Thanks to their combined efforts, 0.54 tons of trash were collected and removed. The focus was on cleaning the grounds of mosques, religious buildings, and public spaces.

It also had an educational purpose, drawing public attention to environmental issues and fostering a responsible attitude toward the environment. The participation of a large number of employees from various departments demonstrated that only through joint efforts can tangible results in improving the city be achieved.
