Litter has always been a problem on Mount Everest. Once the climber has reached the summit he/she is very tired and just wants to get back to base camp as soon as possible. This usually means leaving items on the mountain to make a faster descent.

Today this has all changed. There are dedicated teams that collect litter from the mountain and bring it back down to base camp.

What solutions are there to clean up trash on mount Everest?

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.
