This image captures a roadside scene in Port-Harcourt, Nigeria, under an overcast sky, depicting a plastic bottle recycling operation. A white, small commercial truck is severely overloaded with a pyramid-like stack of large, gray bundled sacks containing compressed clear plastic bottles, secured with ropes. Four adult males are visible in the scene. One individual, wearing a yellow shirt and dark trousers, is positioned on top of the highest sacks on the truck, actively manipulating or securing the load. A second individual, in a dark shirt and green trousers, stands on the unpaved ground adjacent to the truck, reaching upwards toward the bundled sacks. Two other individuals stand to the right of the truck on the unpaved ground; one wears a yellow tank top and light shorts, and the other wears a dark shirt and dark shorts. To the right of the truck, a substantial quantity of similar bundled sacks of plastic bottles forms a large, irregular mound on an elevated dirt patch. This area is littered with debris. A concrete curb separates the unpaved ground from a dark asphalt road. Puddles are present on the asphalt road in the foreground. In the background, a tall, slender blue and white solar-powered street light pole stands against the sky, along with overhead power lines. Further back, industrial structures or buildings and scattered vegetation are visible. The image is captured from inside a vehicle, with a portion of a side-view mirror visible in the lower left corner.
