On October 5, 2025, a large-scale cleanup took place on Pazikov Street in Shymkent's Karatau District. The event was organized as part of the national environmental campaign "Taza Kazakstan" (Clean Kazakhstan) and aimed at improving the city's sanitary conditions, landscaping, and raising environmental awareness among the population.

Employees of the contractor , Zhasyl Zher Shymkent LLC , which is under the jurisdiction of the city's Department for the Development of a Comfortable Urban Environment, actively participated in the cleanup. The company's employees were out in the assigned area early in the morning to tidy up the surrounding areas, clean streets and irrigation canals, and remove accumulated trash and dry grass.

Traditionally, autumn cleanup days are more than just cleanups; they become true celebrations of work and unity. They unite city residents with a common goal: to make Shymkent cleaner, more comfortable, and greener. Zhasyl Zher Shymkent staff noted that such events are not a one-time initiative, but an important part of public environmental education. After all, a clean city begins with each person, with their attitude toward the environment.

From early morning, work was in full swing on Pazikova Street. Municipal services organized garbage collection, clearing sidewalks, trimming bushes and trees, weeding, and cleaning ditches. Specialized equipment, garbage trucks, and tools were used. By midday, the street was transformed: cleaner, brighter, and more welcoming.

According to the company's employees, participating in such events is not simply a matter of fulfilling their job responsibilities, but an expression of civic responsibility and love for their city . People who daily maintain green spaces and keep the streets clean make a huge contribution to the improvement of Shymkent. Their work often goes unnoticed, but it is thanks to them that the city becomes more beautiful and comfortable.

The management of Zhasyl Zher Shymkent LLC emphasized that the main goal of such cleanup days is to foster environmental awareness among residents. After all, cleanliness is not only the physical absence of litter but also an indicator of a society's internal culture. If everyone maintains order around themselves, the entire city will become a model of cleanliness and order.

During the cleanup day, residents of the Karatau district also actively participated in the cleanup. Many came out with their entire families, helping utility workers collect trash and clean courtyards and sidewalks. Such joint efforts strengthen community spirit and foster respect and mutual assistance among people.

City officials, observing the cleanup day, noted that environmental awareness is fostered not only through official events but also by personal example. Everyone must understand that keeping the city clean is a shared responsibility, not just someone's responsibility . Only through joint efforts can we preserve the beauty and order of the metropolis.

The Director of Zhasyl Zher Shymkent LLC shared his opinion:
"We love our city and feel responsible for its well-being. Every cleanup day is an investment in the future, a symbol of respect for work, nature, and people. If each of us takes care of the cleanliness of our surroundings, Shymkent will become the greenest and most beautiful city in the country," he noted.

It's worth noting that Zhasyl Zher Shymkent is not the first company to participate in such campaigns. Its employees regularly maintain green spaces, improve parks and squares, and clean streets . Their daily work is an important part of shaping the city's ecological image.

City administration representatives expressed gratitude to all cleanup participants for their activism and commitment. They emphasized that such events help foster the habit of keeping not only public spaces, but also their own yards, streets, and workplaces clean.

Particular attention was paid to environmental education of young people . Many schoolchildren and students participated in cleanups alongside adults, helping collect trash, sweep sidewalks, and whitewash trees. Such events are a practical lesson in kindness and responsibility. After all, fostering a love of nature requires actions, not words.

After the work was completed, all collected waste was promptly removed to the solid waste landfill. Pazikova Street was transformed: where dry leaves and trash had littered the morning before, it was now a clean, well-maintained area. Residents of the area gratefully noted that the city was becoming more comfortable and pleasant to live in with each cleanup.

Such events have not only aesthetic but also educational value . They instill in citizens an understanding that the environment is a common asset that requires careful management. Cleanup days unite different generations, professions, and social strata with a common goal: preserving nature and improving the city.

At the end of the event, the organizers thanked all participants and expressed hope that such cleanup days would become a good tradition. They plan to continue environmental activities in the near future, including street greening, tree planting, and educational sessions on the importance of waste separation .

Today, cleanliness is not just a matter of aesthetics, but an indicator of a society's level of development. A city can only be considered truly modern and comfortable when its residents respect the environment. This is why the cleanup day's slogan was especially relevant:
“Tazalyk – barrimizge ortak is!” or in Russian - “Cleanliness is a common cause!”

The cleanup day held in the Karatau district was another step toward creating a clean, green, and comfortable Shymkent . People demonstrated that by joining forces, they can not only clean the streets but also strengthen a sense of unity, responsibility, and love for their hometown.
