In Shymkent, systematic efforts to strengthen the public's environmental awareness and improve the city's sanitary conditions continue. The latest highlight in this effort was the traditional "Clean Thursday" (Taza Beysenbi) event, which took place on September 25, 2025, in the Turlan district of the city.

The event was organized by party structures, including city and district branches, as well as activists from the youth wing of "Zhastar Rukhy." They were joined by utility workers, street cleaners, representatives of property management companies, and residents of nearby buildings. In total, more than 50 people participated in the event, each contributing to the cleanup of the area.

Particular attention was paid to the courtyards of apartment buildings, where the largest amount of household waste accumulates during everyday life. Residents note that such events not only help maintain cleanliness but also instill a sense of responsibility among city residents for the well-being of their hometown.

During the event, participants collected dozens of bags of household waste, which was promptly removed by municipal services. Weeding, pruning dead branches, and trimming shrubs were also carried out, giving the courtyards a more tidy appearance.

Particular attention was paid to improving the playgrounds: swings and benches were repainted, sandboxes were cleared of debris, and the condition of play structures was inspected. Some volunteers repaired and painted hardscape elements, making the courtyards more attractive and safer for children.

Additionally, during the campaign, utility workers cleaned trash cans, repaired several broken benches, and updated lighting in certain areas. Thus, the work encompassed not only cleaning but also creating a comfortable urban environment.

The active participation of young people, including student and school associations, became a key focus of the campaign. Representatives of "Zhastar Ruhi" emphasized that fostering environmental awareness in the younger generation should begin with simple yet meaningful steps—participation in collective cleanups, waste separation, and respect for nature.

Young participants noted that such events provide an opportunity to feel a sense of belonging to the city's life. Furthermore, they provide a platform for communication, sharing experiences, and developing new ideas for improving the urban environment.

Local authorities expressed gratitude to all participants and emphasized that efforts to foster environmental awareness among the population will continue. Shymkent has a comprehensive plan for the improvement of courtyards and public spaces, including regular cleanup days, greening campaigns, and sanitation activities.

The city administration notes that the strength of such initiatives lies in the combined efforts of residents, government agencies, utilities, and businesses. Only through joint action can sustainable results be achieved and the city become truly livable.

Beyond directly improving the sanitary conditions of the area, the "Clean Thursday" campaign has an important educational value. It demonstrates that maintaining cleanliness and order is not only the responsibility of public utilities, but also the responsibility of every resident.

The organizers are confident that public involvement in such initiatives will eventually lead to a reduction in household pollution. The more city residents recognize the value of a clean environment, the fewer cases of illegal littering and littering will occur.

There are plans to expand the scope of such initiatives in the future. Specifically, the idea of holding environmental quests, competitions among courtyards and schools for the best improvement project, and organizing waste sorting workshops is being discussed. All this will consolidate the positive impact and take the city's environmental improvement efforts to a new level.

Residents of the Turlansky District who participated in the event noted that such events not only beautify the city but also bring people together. They said working together helps them feel a sense of responsibility for the shared space and strengthens the spirit of community.

Many parents expressed joy that their children were able to participate in the campaign and experience firsthand the value of teamwork for the benefit of society. This became an important lesson in environmental awareness for the younger generation.

Thus, the "Clean Thursday" event, which took place on September 25, 2025, in Shymkent, further confirmed that systematic efforts to improve the urban environment are impossible without the active participation of citizens. More than 50 people, through their joint efforts, made the courtyards of the Turlan district cleaner, more comfortable, and safer.

This event once again emphasized that the city's future depends on every resident. Environmental awareness is shaped by concrete actions, and the "Taza Beysenbi" campaign is a shining example of how collaborative efforts can transform urban spaces.
