Vienna District Leopoldstadt to Get "Neighborhood Waste Place"

The city of Vienna is starting the planning for a new neighborhood waste site in the 2nd district. The location on Innstraße is intended to serve not only as a modern disposal site but also to offer multifunctional services in the spirit of the circular economy. The costs for the project planning, amounting to around eight million euros, were approved on Tuesday in the environmental committee.

"Neighborhood Waste Site" in Vienna-Leopoldstadt with Added Value

The new location is intended to serve an area with over 200,000 people in Leopoldstadt and Brigittenau. A 6,600 square meter area is planned, which will include not only the actual waste site but also accommodations for street cleaning and waste collection staff.

Climate City Councilor Jürgen Czernohorszky (SPÖ) described the project as an "innovative service facility" that takes into account all aspects of modern urban ecology. In addition to classic waste disposal, areas for repair cafés, exchange markets, and other services are also planned to promote the circular economy and reuse.

Focus on Climate Protection and Sustainability

Sustainable construction is a priority according to urban planning. Thus, green roofs and facades, the use of recycled building materials, rainwater management, and energy supply through photovoltaics are planned. A comprehensive noise protection is also part of the concept.

The approximately eight million euro planning budget covers all necessary assessments and technical services – including soil investigation, traffic planning, noise and emission analyses, structural analysis, surveying, and fire protection.

Public Participation Planned

An initial information event for local residents is planned for early 2026. The specific schedule for the start of construction and implementation will be announced at a later date.
