It's no surprise that such a popular and iconic mounteering destination would start becoming a human waste dump:

They barely mention "Rainbow Valley" in this article

Only the ones who haven't been found.  If a body can be located, it gets brought down and dealt with as appropriate.  Mind you, a few years back the body of one of the first westerners to try and climb Everest turned up when the area around one of the main camp sites was being swept for trash.  It was only a couple hundred meters from the camp, and had been the entire time the camp had existed, but nobody found it because nobody goes wandering up there, so there are a fair few people up there who haven't been found.
