Delphi Street DepartmentContact Information
Delphi’s seven man Street Department crew, with assistance from
seasonal summer workers, is kept busy year-round maintaining 17.9
miles of city streets. More than the usual paving and sidewalk replacement
chores, under the direction of department head Aaron Lyons the crew
handles snow removal, street sweeping, sign installation and maintenance,
and weekly trash and yard waste pick up. The department also funds
and oversees the acclaimed curbside and business recycling service,
as well as maintaining the joint city/county recycling center near
downtown Delphi. In September, 2006 Delphi and the Carroll County
towns of Burlington and Flora were honored by the Indiana Association
of Cities and Towns for their cooperative effort in recycling with
the Local Government Cooperation Award. The effort to develop the
recycling program began in 1999 when a former Delphi street superintendent
and the director of Northwest Indiana Solid Waste District approached
each town council for support of a countywide recycling cooperative.
That led to the Carroll County Recycling Cooperative which was funded
with assistance from the Waste District and subscriptions for services
from the three communities. The recycling effort continues and is
invaluable in controlling the flow of waste to area landfills.
