On October 18, 2025, as part of the national environmental campaign "Clean Kazakhstan," cleanup work was carried out on E. Spatayev Street in the Yenbekshinsky District of Shymkent. The event was attended by staff from the Yenbekshinsky District Akim's Office, specialists from the Yenbekshin Municipal Utility Enterprise, employees of Inteko Group LLP, and active residents of the district. The main goal of the campaign was to improve environmental awareness among the population, maintain cleanliness in public places, and foster responsibility for the cleanliness of their yard, street, and the district as a whole.

The cleanup day took place along E. Spataeva Street, one of the district's busiest and most central thoroughfares. The event included cleaning roadsides, sidewalks, and public spaces. Utility workers and volunteers collected trash, mowed dry grass, and cleared fallen leaves and shrubs. Participants also washed streets and sidewalks. All work was organized systematically and with a high degree of responsibility. More than 65 people participated in the event, and specialized equipment was deployed, effectively cleaning the area and improving sanitary conditions.

The main feature of the cleanup day was the active participation of residents. People didn't limit themselves to simply collecting trash; they distributed informational materials about the importance of maintaining cleanliness, talked about waste separation, and the need to care for the environment. Schoolchildren and students formed groups that informed residents about proper waste sorting, the use of plastic bags, and the recycling of plastic and paper. Such activities help foster environmental awareness and instill the habit of caring for the environment from an early age.

"Dear residents! A clean, comfortable, and beautiful neighborhood is our shared responsibility. By keeping our courtyards and streets clean, we can improve the appearance of our city. We invite everyone to actively participate in cleanup days and contribute to the cleanliness and orderliness!" noted a representative of the Yenbekshinsky District Akim's Office.

The cleanup day involved careful planning. The district administration identified the most polluted areas in advance and divided them among groups of participants. Each group was provided with the necessary equipment, tools, and supplies. Participants were instructed on waste sorting and proper disposal procedures. This approach not only helped clean up the trash but also raised environmental awareness among residents and fostered a sense of personal responsibility for a clean environment.

The cleanup day was conducted in compliance with all safety regulations. Utility workers ensured proper use of equipment, controlled traffic to prevent accidents, and ensured the safety of participants. Additional trash containers were placed throughout the district, and informational posters were posted along the streets encouraging cleanliness and litter prevention.

Active participation by residents was a key aspect of the cleanup day's success. They not only set a personal example but also inspired other residents to participate. Young people and children actively participated, picking up trash, tending to green spaces, and participating in landscaping. This created a sense of collective responsibility and fostered a habit of caring for their surroundings.

The cleanup day also included informational and educational events. Special stands displayed information on waste sorting, recycling, preserving green spaces, and protecting nature. Quizzes, environmental games, and competitions were held for children and teenagers, helping to reinforce their knowledge of environmental stewardship and spurring interest in environmental topics.

The cleanup day on E. Spataeva Street contributed to improving the sanitary conditions of the area, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of public spaces, and strengthening residents' responsibility for maintaining cleanliness. The event demonstrated that the joint efforts of the administration, utility services, and residents can significantly improve the urban environment.

Regularly holding such cleanup days helps instill in city residents the habit of maintaining cleanliness and caring for green spaces and natural resources. Such events not only improve quality of life but also strengthen social cohesion and foster a sense of pride in their neighborhood and city.

At the end of the cleanup, the district administration thanked all participants for their efforts and contributions to improving and protecting the environment. The most active volunteer groups, schools, and organizations that made significant contributions to the cleanup and greening of the district were recognized. A report on the results of the work was also prepared, and new sites were identified for future similar events.

The cleanup day demonstrated that a clean street and a well-maintained neighborhood are the result of the combined efforts of all residents. Maintaining the cleanliness of E. Spataeva Street has become an example for other neighborhoods, demonstrating how each person's commitment and responsibility contribute to improving the city's environmental situation.

The event also emphasized the importance of passing on environmental values to future generations. The participation of schoolchildren, students, and young adults helps them develop the habit of caring for nature and keeping their neighborhoods clean. These skills and habits will become part of their daily lives and serve as role models for younger and older residents of the area.

Thus, the cleanup day on E. Spatayev Street, part of the "Clean Kazakhstan" campaign, not only improved the sanitary conditions of the area but also contributed to the development of environmental awareness, responsibility, and respect for nature among residents. It demonstrated that the joint efforts of the administration, utility services, and active residents make the area cleaner, more comfortable, and more attractive to live in.

Regular cleanup days help residents recognize that cleanliness and order are a shared responsibility, and that caring for the environment begins with every yard, every street, and every person. The "Clean Kazakhstan" campaign is becoming more than just a cleanup event; it's also an important element in fostering environmental awareness, cultivating a culture of cleanliness, and caring for future generations.
