The Guinness World Records lists the “largest clean-up on Everest” as a 45-day effort by 12 Sherpas between April and May of 2019, collecting a whopping 22,879 pounds of garbage, as well as four dead bodies left on the mountain.
The project was spearheaded by Nepal’s Ministry of Culture, Tourism, and Civil Aviation, and assisted by the Ministry of Forests and Environment, Department of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation, Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee (SPCC), Nepali Army, Nepal Mountaineering Association, and Nepal Tourism Board.
Around 12,000 pounds of the trash came from Base Camp and nearby areas, and the remaining 10,000 was recovered from high camps and along the Khumbu Icefall. The workers managed to recycle over 11,000 pounds of the waste.
