On November 1, 2025, the "Clean Thursday" (Taza Beysenbi) environmental campaign continued in Shymkent's Turansky District. This large-scale cleanup event was aimed at maintaining cleanliness in the city, fostering environmental awareness among residents, especially young people, and improving neighborhoods and public spaces.

The cleanup day took place in the courtyard of an apartment building on Adyrbekova Street. More than 30 people participated in the event, including college students, teachers, activists, and local residents. They all came together to tidy up the area, clear out ditches and canals, mow the grass, remove trash, and make the courtyard and surrounding areas look neat and tidy.

The event organizers emphasized that such cleanup days have not only practical benefits but also educational value. They foster a sense of responsibility for a clean environment and a love for their hometown among residents and young people. Each participant sees the direct results of their efforts—clean yards, tidy lawns, and trash-free ditches. This is a clear example of how the joint efforts of citizens can transform urban spaces.

All participants were provided with the necessary equipment for the cleanup: rakes, shovels, brooms, trash bags, and gloves. The work was organized into pre-determined sections: one group was responsible for clearing the ditches, another for cleaning the yard and lawns, and a third for sorting and collecting trash. This approach ensured the efficiency and safety of the work.

Particular attention was paid to cleaning ditches and drains. Stagnant water and debris in these systems can lead to unpleasant consequences, such as flooding and littering. Participants cleared the canals of debris, sediment, and foreign objects to allow water to flow freely. This also helps preserve green spaces and improve the environmental situation in the area.

According to the participants, working outdoors and cleaning the area together provided not only physical exercise but also emotional satisfaction. Every visible result—a clean yard, manicured lawns, cleared ditches—inspired further action and fostered a sense of responsibility for the environment. The young people learned to work in a team, delegate responsibilities, and monitor the process, which also developed organizational skills and the ability to collaborate.

Since the beginning of 2025, 43 such cleanup days have already been held in Shymkent. As a result of these events, approximately 40 tons of waste were collected and removed. More than 3,000 citizens participated, making a significant contribution to improving the urban environment through their efforts. These figures clearly demonstrate the residents' commitment to cleanliness and the improvement of the city.

In addition to their practical benefits, cleanup days also have an educational impact. Students and other participants see how their joint efforts improve the appearance of the city and create a comfortable living environment. They recognize that the cleanliness of their surroundings depends on each individual, and they develop the habit of maintaining order on a regular basis.

Particular attention was paid to the maintenance of green spaces. Lawns and flowerbeds were cleared of dry grass, debris, and dead plants. Trees and shrubs were tended, and young plants were watered. These activities not only contribute to the aesthetic improvement of courtyards and streets but also develop practical skills in caring for nature, enhancing environmental awareness, and fostering a responsible attitude toward the environment.

The organizers noted that cleanups should become a regular practice. Participants, both young and old, should regularly clean their surroundings to ensure the order created is maintained. Regular cleanups foster sustainable environmental habits and increase environmental responsibility among residents.

The cleanup day also included waste sorting. Plastic bottles, paper, organic waste, and other materials were separated and sent for recycling. This not only helps clean the area but also reduces the burden on landfills, promotes recycling, and increases environmental awareness among citizens.

The social significance of the event is also significant. Joint activities bring together people of all ages, fostering team spirit and a sense of belonging to the life of the neighborhood and city. Young people and adults worked together, shared experiences, and shared the importance of cleanliness and beautification. Such events foster social responsibility and active citizenship.

According to one of the cleanup participants, a college student, "We cleaned up our courtyard and the surrounding streets. Keeping our surroundings clean is our contribution to the city's future. If everyone maintains order, our city will become beautiful and comfortable to live in."

By the end of the cleanup, the grounds of the apartment building, lawns, flower beds, ditches, and pedestrian paths were completely cleaned and tidied up. Participants noted the high level of organization and the opportunity to see concrete results from their efforts.

Thus, the cleanup day on November 1, 2025, in Shymkent's Turansky District, as part of the "Taza Beysenbi" campaign, became a clear example of how the joint efforts of residents, students, and teachers contribute to improving the environmental situation. More than 30 participants cleaned the courtyard, ditches, and lawns, removed trash, and tidied up the area.

Since the beginning of the year, such events have been held 43 times, collecting approximately 40 tons of waste, and involving over 3,000 people. These events help improve residents' environmental awareness, foster the habit of keeping their city clean and caring for their community, and foster a sense of responsibility for the environment.

"The city's cleanliness depends on each of us. Joint events bring people together, instill environmental responsibility in young people, and instill the habit of caring for nature," the organizers emphasized.

The environmental campaign in Shymkent demonstrated that even small efforts by each individual can lead to significant results. Teamwork, attention to cleanliness, and the care of green spaces make the city a welcoming, safe, and attractive place for all residents.
