last year about 1200 people attempted, at about $45,000 each. thats $54million in a dollar-a-day economy to try and sort the problem. or any other problem Nepal may have. and thats just everest climbers.
the problem there isnt high altitude piles of sh#t, its the combination of local corruption and being stitched up by foreign companies.
they could have heated titanium shitters that turn the waste into graphene or zirconias if they chose to.

perhaps they could hire more poor people to carry more of the rich people's sh#t, downhill at least this time.

Beaned on Everest
The author says he worked as a guide for 30 years, he was hired to do a reality TV show then coordinated a 45 person rescue until he got beaned. I think it's fair to ask who's responsible for the crowds of noobs up there, and whether Mr. Warner may be partly to blame himself.

how long does it last
Short answer: a long, long time. Just like a compost heap, when you have moisture and warmth, the process takes less time. Out there in the wilds, you have a great variety of moisture levels and temps. Here in Wyoming, where I am, there are low levels of moisture and long winters, so fecal matter can be dug up years later—with lots of nasty pathogens still active. It would be a different story in, say, the swampy land of South Carolina. In the end, it becomes of great importance where we place our excreta. Dig down 6 to 8 inches at least 200 feet from a water source—and hide the spot well. —Buck

Russell Brice used the big blue plastic drums system when he was running his guide operation from the Tibetan side. As each drum emptied, it was filled with sewage & garbage to be hauled back to civilization for disposal. Of course, you could drive to/from base camp on the Tibetan side.
