This image displays a significant accumulation of refuse situated beside a paved surface in Lagos, Nigeria. A large, central mound of white, fibrous material, consistent with textile waste or unprocessed cotton, dominates the immediate foreground. This mound is intermingled with and surrounded by various discarded items, including multiple plastic bottles (e.g., amber, clear), multicolored plastic bags (yellow, blue, black), food wrappers, and miscellaneous domestic debris. A black plastic bowl is visible at the lower right edge of the refuse pile, resting on a yellow plastic bag. Behind the refuse, an overgrown grassy embankment slopes upward. Further in the background, industrial-style buildings with light-colored corrugated roofs and concrete walls are present, partially separated by a blue fence. Several palm trees rise above the structures under an overcast sky. No individuals are visible in the scene.
