Expeditions to send huge rubbish bags to clean up Mount Everest

Mountaineering expedition organisers in Nepal are sending huge bags with climbers on Mount Everest during the spring climbing season to collect rubbish that then can be winched by helicopters back to the base camp.

Dambar Parajuli of the Expedition Operators Association of Nepal said bags have already been sent to the base camp to be carried by climbers, guides and porters to higher elevations.
