Everest Waste Deposit Scheme Scrapped

  Nepal’s government announced late last year that it had ended the 11‑year waste deposit scheme on Mount Everest, admitting it failed to curb the mountain’s growing trash problem. Under the scheme, climbers were required to pay a US$4,000 deposit, which was refundable only if they carried down 8kg of waste. The policy was meant to facilitate the removal of rubbish from the mountain. 

  In practice, however, most waste was collected from lower camps, while trash at higher altitudes remained untouched. With Everest estimated to contain around 50 tons of waste, the rule proved to be little more than an administrative burden.

  Under a new plan, climbers will pay a non‑refundable US$4,000 clean‑up fee, which *Sherpa leaders say will create a dedicated fund for clean‑up work and enforcement as part of a five‑year action plan.
