Impact of Winter Storm Orlena
The Sixth Taxing District’s (6TD) garbage collector, AFK, had to delay pick ups by a day due to the storm. Monday’s garbage was collected today and those with Tuesday pick up will get collected on Wednesday.
There will be no yard wasted pick up this week in Rowayton.
The City of Norwalk’s contractor, City Carting, has had to reschedule recycling pickup – Tuesday’s regulation collection is now rescheduled for Thursday.
The weekly composting pick up at the Rowayton Community Center – a joint venture of the 6TD and the City of Norwalk – will take place as regularly scheduled. Please drop your composting off by Wednesday for the week’s collection.

Rowayton Fire Department
Please Keep Fire Hydrants Clear of Snow
The Rowayton Volunteer Fire Department is asking residents and businesses to “adopt” their neighborhood fire hydrant and assure that it is accessible by creating a 3 foot clearance on all sides of the hydrant from snow and other obstructions.
By adopting a hydrant, participants will be helping to protect themselves, their family, and their neighbors. When there is a fire, the fire department must quickly locate and establish a water supply from the closet fire hydrant. If the hydrant is buried, valuable minutes are lost. Most fire engines only carry enough water for the first few minutes of a fire attack, so establishing a water supply quickly is critical.
If you are unable to dig out a hydrant, but know where there is one that needs to be dug out, please call us and leave a message at (203) 853-9411. We’ll be happy to come and dig it out for you. You can also send us a message about buried hydrants.
