A sign between the doors says "Recycle Here!" with the hours listed along with contact information. Bees have been drawn over the piece in the middle between the doors. Artist's initials and the year 2020 are written on the right door, near the bottom. The doors were painted in 2018 and in 2020 the mural was repainted.
