In August 2026, the Timiș County Council initiated a public tender valued at 12.5 million lei for the expansion of the Tărpiu landfill. The project involves designing and constructing a third waste storage cell, including leachate collection and gas capture, to address the fact that the second cell was over 80% full.

By September 2026, the council's focus shifted toward management oversight as it restarted the selection process for two administrator positions at ECO SERV Timiș SRL, the entity managing the Ghizela landfill and regional waste systems. The process was delayed after the Agency for Monitoring and Evaluating the Performance of Public Enterprises rejected six of the seven initial applicants. Council President Alfred Simonis noted that high expertise demands and restrictive legal requirements have made finding qualified candidates difficult.
