Littering on Everest is a significant issue, both on the base camps and higher up the mountain itself. In recent years both Nepal and China have implemented measures to try to force climbers to bring their waste down with them, and not leave it on the mountain.
Nepal in 2014 began charging a $4,000 garbage deposit that would be forfeited if climbers fail to return with their trash.
The government of the Tibet Autonomous Region statement announcing the closure called for further action to protect Mount Everest, saying that workers had collected some 9 tons of trash from above 17,000 feet. In the regions below that level, 370 tons of waste had been collected.
It said a task force of 200 people would be formed to clear the remaining garbage.

Waste? Does this mean that the chicoms have been allowing hidebeast to climb Everest?
Yeah. Everest is as bad as a pro-choice rally.
Of course. She claims she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary even though he hadn't scaled Everest until a few years after she was born.
Today's Everest climb is already laid out with ropes and ladders and all the other stuff that makes walking simpler..........
Democrat solution: Put trash bins up there (and, of course, force people to separate their trash).
The problem is that they don’t have “Litter Free Zone” signs along the trail.
I do single stream. It all goes n the same bin.
