Tourism Department official Durga Dutta Dhakal said “This way we hope to bring down the trash without any extra cost, using helicopters that return empty after dumping climbing ropes at the high camp”
"Sherpas would be paid to pick up the trash" added Russell Brice, by Himalayan Experience guiding company. “We will pay $2 for each kilo of trash the sherpas bring down.”
Kathmandu Post explains that "mountaineers have removed more than 16 tonnes of trash from Everest in the past, but there are no estimates of how much still litters the mountain."
