Vienna offers curbside single-stream recycling collection on a rotating schedule, typically bi-weekly or weekly paired with trash day. Accepted materials include paper, cardboard, glass, metal cans, and specified plastics. Virginia requires localities to achieve 25 percent recycling rate under state solid waste law.
The Town of Vienna operates curbside recycling through Public Works as part of municipal sanitation services. Collection is single-stream, meaning acceptable materials can be commingled in one bin. Accepted items: newspapers, mixed paper, cardboard (flattened), glass bottles and jars, aluminum and steel cans, and plastic containers marked 1 and 2 (bottles, jugs, tubs). Not accepted: plastic bags, styrofoam, food-contaminated containers, electronics, batteries, and hazardous materials. Plastic bag recycling is available at grocery stores. Virginia Code Section 10.1-1411 requires localities and solid waste planning units to achieve a minimum 25 percent recycling rate. Fairfax County (which surrounds Vienna) consistently exceeds this threshold. Vienna recycling bins are typically blue or blue-lidded. Cardboard boxes should be broken down and may be placed beside the bin. Yard waste recycling is separate (leaves, grass, branches). Electronics and hazardous household waste require drop-off at Fairfax County I-66 Transfer Station or I-95 Landfill Complex. Vienna participates in America Recycles Day and periodic community collection events.
