Waste Collection - Heat Advisory Days
When the Town of Vienna is under a heat advisory, the Town will adjust the solid waste collection schedule to mitigate potential heat-related health risks to Public Works crews. When extreme heat is in the forecast, residents are asked to have items at the curb by 5 a.m. as collection will begin at 6 a.m. Thank you for your cooperation!
Waste Collection Holiday Schedule
Collection will not be scheduled for Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day or New Year's Day. When a regular trash collection day is missed because of an observed holiday or mechanical difficulties, collection of trash and recycling only will be rescheduled for the next collection day for that week. Brush, yard waste and bulk collection will resume the next week on the regularly scheduled day. Rescheduling information will be listed in the Town Calendar and on our website.

Town of Vienna Bikeshare
Vienna now has five fully operational Capital Bikeshare docking stations stocked with rentable bicycles, offering community members a new, sustainable and convenient way to get around town and neighboring jurisdictions. The stations are located at Navy Federal Credit Union, the Vienna Community Center, the intersection of Maple Avenue and Nutley Street, the intersection of Patrick and Park streets, and at the W&OD Trail crossing at Ayr Hill Avenue.
The stations add 26 standard bicycles and six pedal assist electric bicycles that riders can rent and return to any station in Capital Bikeshare’s expansive network of stations in the national capital area.
