The image shows three black and white photographs of the same location that have been glued onto light-grey pages with silver corners. Each page is labeled by hand with the notation, "GSe 29.33.37.13 University of Chicago Settlement, Chicago, Ill." and the photographs are labeled "The dump." The three photographs are images of garbage or refuse.

In the first photo, a woman is seen from the back, bent over and presumably rummaging through the dump, which is in front of two single-story houses.

In the second photo, there is a small building or trailer in front of a dump. There is smoke coming from the building. There are five people, standing in a row and looking toward the right side of the image. The page also has a short description of the dump, "The Dump. A prominent politician receives fifty cents a load for every load of refuse deposited by the City in the hole made by this brick yard."

In the third photo, a man in the center is carrying something on his back, possibly sacks of refuse. There are three men in the photograph standing behind him on the right, and one person standing off in the distance on the left. In the background of the photo are two smoke stacks, not smoking.
