Vienna Trash and Recycling Schedule

By Doug Francis

Update 2019:

Recycling in Vienna include:

  • NEW! – Glass Recycling dumpster in Vienna on Mill Street 
  • mixed paper, magazines, junk mail, newspaper
  • flat cardboard
  • glass bottles and jars are collected go to landfill (see Fairfax glass recycling for current details)
  • metal food and beverage cans
  • Plastic #1, #2, #5 only – 

Do not include: Pizza boxes, electronics, takeout containers, plastic bags, package-peanuts, styrofoam, clamshell or clear plastic containers.


If you have lived in the Town of Vienna Virginia as long as I have, something like a change in the weekly trash pickup can throw your rhythm off a little… at least for a week or two. The New Vienna Trash Schedule is intended to get the job done on one day, and keep your street looking clean. Items that you once saved for a “Special Pick-up” can go out in your regular trash. Yes, you will now get 52 Special Pick-ups!

  • The New Vienna Trash Schedule gets it all done on the same day
  • One Day a Week for both trash and recycling. It all goes out!
  • Includes removal of “bulk items” weekly on collection day
  • There will be THREE different trucks that go down your street

From the Town of Vienna Web Site:

How it will work each day in the new districts:

  • Two refuse packer trucks will collect household waste in the current fashion.  In addition, the refuse crew will also collect non-metal furniture, lumber, rugs, homeowner/handyman debris and other items that the Fairfax County I-66 Transfer Station will accept.
  • Two refuse packer trucks will collect single-stream recycling, including large materials like appliance boxes and other items that can be recycled at the Waste Management Recycling Station in Merrifield.
  • A knuckle-boom and tandem truck will collect loose brush, limbs, yard waste and other material which can be recycled at the I-66 Transfer Station.
  • A Sanitation Inspector will collect any metal set out for collection.

If you need more information, the Town of Vienna Public Works has an easy to understand FAQ Page , or give them a call at 703-255-6380.

About Doug Francis

A seasoned Realtor specializing in unique and new homes around Vienna, Virginia, Doug has seen consumer behavior, negotiations and communication styles change. At his original brokerage, he was the first agent to add an email address. Imagine! Outside real estate, he plays tennis, is a Washington Capitals fan, spends time with Skipper (his dog), and enjoys the restaurant scene in the DCA. He's a Boston University graduate who feels morning coffee is non-negotiable.

Vienna real estate agent Doug Francis

When we bought our house in Vienna, we were thinking about raising the kids, building an addition, and knowing the neighbors. Today, home buyers are attracted to Vienna because of the sense of community, walkability, and small town lifestyle.

So, what’s next after your 25 years? It’s a conversation many of my clients are having with me as they plan to move to the beach, travel, or get closer to grandkids. Helping them see their future, sell their current home, and move ahead with their updated plan has been an interesting new chapter.

My background: I am an active licensed agent in Virginia, have negotiated hundreds of sales contracts, work at TTR Sotheby’s International Realty in McLean, and still sell homes in all price ranges. I donate to the Town of Vienna tree replacement fund, participate in a neighborhood citizens association, and try my best to stay in shape.

Let’s discuss your moving plans: Email doug@dougfrancis.com or call me at (703) 304-6827 .  Cheers!
