NHKV

What NHKV does

NHKV Zrt. (Nemzeti Hulladékgazdálkodási Koordináló és Vagyonkezelő Zrt.) was a Hungarian state-owned coordination entity established in 2015 under Act CLXXXV of 2012 to centralize billing, fee collection, and customer service for municipal waste management public services. Operating as the national administrative hub, the company sat between Hungarian municipalities and a network of 55+ regional waste management service providers, handling invoicing, payment processing, and debt collection for waste management fees from April 2016 through June 2023. NHKV did not perform direct waste collection; instead, it operated digital platforms including a Partner Portal for service providers, a Mass Billing System (TBSZ) for large-scale invoice management, a consumer-facing invoicing portal, and the Hulladékradar citizen reporting application, supported by a customer service function delivered through physical offices in Budapest, phone, and email channels.

The company's revenue mechanics combined regulatory fee collection (recurring subscription-like charges paid by waste management subscribers) and commissions from waste material sales (transaction-based revenue). Its customer base spanned Hungarian households, businesses, and public institutions required by statute to subscribe to municipal waste management service. Beyond billing, NHKV ran service-provider coordination, payment-instrument registration, and consumer-facing national programs — most notably the asbestos removal grant initiative operated in partnership with the Ministry of Energy. Headquarters relocated within Budapest from Major utca 34-36 to Szakiskola u. 2 in January 2024.

Following Government Decree 143/2025 (VI.19), NHKV was dissolved and its remaining billing, debt management, and customer service operations were transferred to MKK Magyar Követeléskezelő Zrt. effective July 1, 2025, concluding the entity's operational mandate.
