The image depicts an urban street cleanup in Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Multiple individuals, primarily adult males, are actively engaged in removing a substantial pile of mixed refuse from the ground, which includes plastics, textiles, and miscellaneous debris. Several participants wear reflective safety vests (yellow-blue and red variants) and some are equipped with face masks and gloves. One individual in a dark blue uniform bends forward, utilizing a stick to gather debris. Another person is filling a large white collection bag, while a third is positioned on the bed of a light-colored dump truck, handling collected waste. In the background, urban buildings (some appearing incomplete or under construction), overhead power/communication lines, a street light pole, and large metal support structures are visible under an overcast sky. The scene indicates a coordinated waste management effort.
