★Mark us as a preferred sourceThe Municipality of Tapolca is selling the Zalahaláp waste landfill area for a net 120 million HUF to GEOCONSTANS Kft., based in Cegléd. The resolution was unanimously supported at the extraordinary municipal council meeting.
Background of the Zalahaláp waste landfill sale
The sole official agenda item of the recent extraordinary council meeting on Thursday was the sale of the municipality-owned land of the Zalahaláp waste landfill. In July 2026, the municipality of Tapolca designated the 9.6-hectare property registered under topographical number Zalahaláp 010/44, classified as an “extracted waste landfill site,” for sale. During the bidding process, there was only one applicant, the Cegléd-based GEOCONSTANS Kft. The purchase price was set at a net 120 million HUF. The proposal was unanimously supported by the board of representatives, thereby authorizing Mayor Zoltán Dobó to conduct the negotiations regarding the contract and to sign the sales agreement.
State decisions and the buyer’s plans
During the meeting, Mayor Zoltán Dobó emphasized that the sale does not concern the landfill business itself, but exclusively the land owned by the city. The situation escalated when the Hungarian state sold its majority stake owned by Mohu back in December 2025. According to the mayor’s statement, the state decided to sell NHSZ Csobánc about a year and a half ago without notifying the local government, presenting the city with a fait accompli.
Since the city cannot provide the operation of a waste dump and the performance of waste management tasks at the municipal level, selling the land was a rational step. The buyer, GEOCONSTANS Kft., required the area because they intend to build an additional waste storage cassette on the property. The future of the Zalahaláp waste landfill remains an important local issue as the new owner is planning physical developments on the site.
