Summary/Abstract: I will present the Hungarian models of the public waste management service (regarding the fact that several consecutive models have worked in Hungary before). I will consider public service as a fundamental guarantee of institutional protection just as the participants involved in public service focusing on Nemzeti Hulladékgazdálkodási Koordináló és Vagyonkezelő Zrt. (National Waste Management Coordinating and Asset Management plc – NHKV). NHKV was established in 2016, almost two years ago, but it has faced more and more problems on a permanent basis, to which I will draw attention in this study. I do not intend to carry out a detailed critical analysis of the system within the scope of this study. The question is whether waste management that has been changing since 2012 and becoming more and incomprehensible will overcome the current obstacles or we have to witness more and more failed solutions due to the “waves” of nationalizations spreading increasingly, which will cause in the municipalities of Hungary the same infamous waste management disaster that happened in Naples.
