One solution is to limit the number of climbers that visit each year. For every climber that goes up, they leave 5-10 empty bottles of oxygen, wrappers from premade food and drink containers, discarded tents, human waste and over 280 dead bodies. The Nepalese will probably not do this as they make $35,000 to $50,000 USD for each climber that tries to climb the mountain.
In the past few years, many expedition groups have climbed the mountain to collect the rubbish that is lying around, but recently a group of Nepali climbers made
one of the most successful trips, clearing over 8 tons of trash. This was the first time a mission was able to go into the "death zone", or above 8000 meters,
and collect the rubbish that was residing there. The higher elevation areas are when pieces of rubbish become the biggest problem. The reason being is that at
this high altitude past climbers were not too worried about picking up after themselves, they were more worried about surviving the harsh conditions and staying alive.

There is trash on the slopes of Mount Everest that has been left behind by climbers but not as much as there was a few years ago. Today there is a dedicated climbing team who climb Everest just collecting trash and bringing it down off the mountain.

To the best of my knowledge the only thing that grows at the top of Mount Everest is the proliferation of signs and trash left by the climbers who reach the summit.
The worst thing that people have done to damage Mount Everest is by leaving there rubbish/trash behind. Today this is more tightly controlled and improving.
The most common type of trash found on Mount Everest is human waste, food wrappers, broken tents. Today there is a dedicated team who work hard in cleaning up the slopes of the mountain.
Any waste, human and food, is brought down off the mountain by the expedition teams. Mount Everest is a lot cleaner now than it use to be. Climbers would just leave there waste or bury it under snow but today teams must bring it all down with them.

Pollution from poor waste management facilities taints the local water supply. On Mount Everest itself, trash has become a serious problem. The mountain has been given the nickname "the world's highest landfill." Discarded oxygen bottles, tins, medical syringes and bottles, tents, and corpses litter the mountains' most popular routes, particularly the South Ridge." - Special:Contributions
It is because Mt Everest is littered with the trash of so many climbing expeditions that have tried to summit it. Trash such as food waste and junk such as old, used oxygen tanks/bottles, tents, etc. Also to a certain degree human waste as well with Mt Everest claiming many many victims whos bodies have been preserved by the cold and never been found so it could also be called the world's highest graveyard.

*Environmental - the trash left after climbers.
The benefits of getting a metal trash can are that it is easier to clean and able to recycle when it is done. A plastic bin is harder to clean and is not recyclable
Take your trash can out of your room for a week. If you go to the nearest trash can outside of your room to throw away stuff, you're a clean person. If you just make a pile of trash on your desk or in the corner of your room, you are a bit lazy, clean enough, and organized. If you just throw your trash wherever, your very dirty. THE END
