The scene depicts a waste collection point on a commercial street in Lagos, Nigeria. The environment is brightly lit, with a ground composed of dirt and concrete heavily littered with diverse refuse. In the center-left, an adult male with dark skin and a beard wears a white baseball cap, a dark short-sleeved shirt, and light brown trousers with black shoes. He is actively sorting through a large pile of trash, holding a white plastic cup in his raised right hand and a yellow plastic bag in his left, positioned next to a substantial, white woven sack filled with collected materials. Another similar white sack stands to his right, also full. Directly behind him is the large, soiled, orange rear section of a refuse compaction truck. To the right, a second adult male with dark skin and a beard stands facing slightly left, wearing a short-sleeved olive-green polo shirt with a red collar, dark brown trousers cut above the ankles, and light blue flip-flops. A reddish-brown bracelet is visible on his left wrist. He is observing the scene. In the background, behind the orange vehicle, a small shop or stall with a green corrugated metal roof features a red and white awning displaying "Chivita" and "Hollandia" brand logos. Shelves inside the stall are stocked with bottled beverages. The ground surrounding the individuals and the vehicle is covered in extensive debris, including plastic wrappers, paper, and food remnants. A woven circular object is partially visible on the ground near the second male's feet.
