The scene is set in an outdoor area within Athi River ward, Kenya. In the mid-ground to the left, a dark green recycling station features multiple compartments; one is open, exposing a collection of trash including plastic bottles and wrappers. Labels such as "GLASS WASTE" and "METAL WASTE" are visible on the bin exteriors, which are also decorated with painted animal images including a rhinoceros, zebra, and lion. A light brown monkey is captured in motion, walking from left to right across a patch of dirt and sparse grass situated between the recycling station and the foreground. A barrier, consisting of a metal chain strung between several wooden or concrete posts, traverses the lower-mid section of the image. To the right, a large tree trunk stands next to a paved area with a concrete curb and a yellow-and-white painted line, indicative of a road or path. The environment is under natural daylight, with shadows present.
