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.
Public Works Day
Public Works Day this year is Thursday, May 21, 2026, from 2 to 6 p.m. at the Northside Property Yard (600 Mill St., NE). This event is held rain or shine.
Public Works Day is held in May each year at the Northside Property Yard. Tour the facility to get an up-close look at the heavy machinery and meet the employees. Designed for all ages, light refreshments will be served.
Town of Vienna Bikeshare
Bikeshare is coming to the Town of Vienna. Five Capital bikeshare stations will be installed late summer 2026. The stations will be a part of the Fairfax County Capital Bikeshare network and will include classic pedal bikes and a few e-bikes. Riders will be required to dock the bikes when their ride is complete, but it does not need to be a docked in the Town or at the same station where the ride began. For example, riders can dock at the Capital Bikeshare station at any of the nearby Metro stations in neighboring jurisdictions. The five stations in town will be located at:
- Ayr Hill Avenue, NE, adjacent to the W&OD Trail
- Vienna Community Center, 120 Cherry St., SE
- Between the W&OD Trail and Navy Federal Credit Union, just off Follin Lane, SE
- 444 Maple Ave., W - along the Maple Avenue frontage (Close the Maple Avenue and Nutley Street Intersection)
- Along Patrick Street, SE, near the intersection with Park Street
To report bikes that are not parked correctly, please call 877-430-2453, visit www.capitalbikeshare.com or use the Capital Bikeshare or Lyft app.
