On September 27, 2025, a citywide cleanup day was held in Shymkent as part of the national environmental campaign "Clean Kazakhstan." The main goal of the event was to clean up urban areas, improve streets, courtyards, and public spaces, and foster environmental awareness among residents. Residents of all ages, government employees, students, schoolchildren, and volunteers actively participated in the event.

Employees of the Shymkent Veterinary Service Municipal Commercial Community actively participated in the event, performing a wide range of tasks. They began by cleaning areas, including public spaces and streets, collecting scattered trash and placing it in designated containers. They also maintained the city's irrigation systems, ensuring proper operation and maintaining green spaces and flower beds.

The cleanup day focused on sanitation. Participants removed trash from streets, parks, and playgrounds, and repaired and updated urban infrastructure. The goal of these activities was to create a safe and comfortable urban environment for residents and visitors. Trash containers and benches were not only cleaned but also moved to more convenient locations to improve the comfort and functionality of public spaces.

Young people and students also actively participated in the cleanup day. They helped water the green spaces, planted trees and shrubs, and participated in the restoration of flower beds. Environmental education activities were also held. Participants were taught the importance of caring for nature, keeping the city clean, and maintaining green spaces. Young people were also taught the negative consequences of littering, how to properly manage waste, conserve water, protect plants, and avoid polluting the environment. Such events instill in the younger generation a sense of responsibility for their surroundings and instill a habit of caring for nature.

Veterinary Service staff demonstrated their professional skills. They provided animal care recommendations, ensured safe areas for domestic and stray animals, thereby reducing their exposure to waste and maintaining sanitary standards. These actions are especially important for protecting the health of city residents and maintaining a healthy environment in the city.

The city administration, utility services, and public organizations actively participated in organizing the cleanup day. Participants jointly toured the city's territories, identifying areas requiring additional improvement or repair. Each enterprise and organization assumed responsibility for a specific area, which enabled effective coordination of the work and tangible results.

Many city residents participated in the cleanup event voluntarily. Their participation demonstrates a high level of social responsibility and concern for their city. It was also noted that regularly holding such events is important for fostering environmental awareness and instilling in residents a sense of responsibility for keeping the city clean and preserving the environment.

During the cleanup, informational brochures and leaflets with basic rules of environmental behavior were distributed. Residents were informed about the importance of maintaining cleanliness, proper waste disposal, protecting green spaces, conserving water, and preventing pollution. Volunteers demonstrated environmentally friendly methods and materials used in landscaping.

The "Clean Kazakhstan" campaign is not a one-time event, but part of a systematic effort to foster environmental awareness and culture among city residents. Initiatives like these change residents' attitudes toward nature, contribute to the improvement of the city, and ensure a clean and comfortable environment for future generations.

At the end of the cleanup, the organizers expressed their gratitude to everyone who actively participated. Their work and efforts were highly appreciated as a contribution to improving the city's appearance. It was also noted that similar events will be held regularly to ensure Shymkent remains clean, well-maintained, and a comfortable place to live.

Veterinary Service MCC staff carried out important tasks: garbage collection, restoration of irrigation systems, and sanitary cleanup of the area. These activities not only contribute to improving the city's appearance but also raise environmental awareness among the population, foster a responsible attitude toward nature, and ensure a healthy environment for residents. The experience and results gained during the cleanup will form the basis for future work on improving the city and maintaining cleanliness and order.

Thus, the citywide cleanup event held in Shymkent as part of the national environmental campaign "Clean Kazakhstan" was a success thanks to the active participation of residents, coordination with municipal services, and the professional work of the Veterinary Service MCC staff. This cleanup event became a shining example of how the joint efforts of authorities and residents contribute to maintaining environmental safety, fostering environmental awareness, and creating a comfortable urban environment for all residents.
