There is well over 50 Tonnes of rubbish including gas bottles, poo and even a Helicopter!
But in 1998 a private team calling itself the Everest environmental expedition removed over 1.2 tonnes of waste from Everest. primarily around the base camp and some in camp II.
- The Nepalese government now requires a $4,000 deposit from climbers that it refunds only if they bring down the same amount of gear that they took up.
Over the past few years a climbing team brings down a vast amount of rubbish from the slopes of the mountain and from base camp. The mountain and base camp is now a lot cleaner than say 10 years ago.
