From the article (linked below) it's not quite clear what climbers themselves are
leaving behind--they are REQUIRED to hire outfitters with costs inflated
to line the pockets of Kathmandu bureaucRATS who also pilfer the fees
to access Everest 
Therein, doesn't much of the 'cleanup' responsibility lie with the people receiving such fees and profits--the government (including thieving mandarins) and requisite guides--at least more than climbers who in general tend to be conservationists of the outdoor paradise they adore?️
And to whom and where is the burden of tonnes of trash and human waste of ‘cleanup’being transported?!?
What Himalayan community is the unlucky recipient of that filth or perhaps just another I/NGO #MoneyGrab #boondoggle -- aid profiteering by 'saving the environment' with little to no accountability and virtually no oversight -- exploiting genuine environmental concerns to game the system for 'aid' funding and perhaps social merit points that serve to promote the very people/organisations/businesses involved in the aid profiteering?
