Through her leadership, Lyons has made RDL a driving force in the Southeast, delivering impactful services across North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Illinois. More than just a business, RDL is a mission-driven organization built on the belief that everyone deserves a second chance.
Founded in 2015 as a utility locating service, RDL expanded in 2021 to include its Litter Pick-Up Division, which has since played a vital role in maintaining stretches of major highways - including a high-visibility contract with I-77 Mobility Partners. Today, the company is known not only for its reliable infrastructure services but also for its innovative Re-Entry Job Training Program, which equips formerly incarcerated individuals with job skills, OSHA certifications, and stable employment opportunities.
"Safety always comes first," says Lyons, who ensures her team is well-trained and properly equipped to work safely on busy roadways.
Lyons' story is one of perseverance. Despite challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the lack of traditional funding or grants, RDL has thrived-living up to its name by remaining Reliable and Dependable for both employees and partners.
Her leadership has caught the attention of both community members and civic leaders. A 2022 report from local news outlet WSOC highlighted the stark difference in cleanliness between sections of I-77. While some areas were described as "a mess," the stretch maintained by RDL - from Exits 11 to 37 - was praised as "pristine." This recognition led V. Porta Serrano, COO of I-77 Express Mobility Partners, to personally commend Lyons, stating,
"The work your team is performing is highly recognized by the public... Thank you for making this work safe and collaborating on the success of our project."
RDL's impact reaches far beyond clean roads. With more than 50 individuals already placed in meaningful employment through its re-entry program, the company is helping people stabilize their lives, support their families, and rebuild with purpose. The program goes beyond minimum standards, offering OSHA safety training, partnerships with transit systems like Charlotte's Blue Line, and other resources that position participants for long-term success.
Key Benefits of RDL's Litter Pick-Up Services Include:
- Safer Roads: Removing hazardous debris improves driver safety and visibility.
- Environmental Impact: Prevents litter from entering ecosystems and water systems.
- Economic Growth: Creates jobs and reduces municipal cleanup costs.
- Second-Chance Employment: Offers structured, supportive employment for returning citizens.
- Community Reputation: Enhances the appearance and perception of local businesses and corridors.
- Certified Excellence: RDL is a certified Minority-Owned, Woman-Owned, and HUD-Certified Small Business Enterprise across multiple states.
As a Mississippi native, a mother of six, and a grandmother of six, Lyons balances her business leadership with a strong commitment to faith and service. A minister for over 20 years, she's also the author of her autobiography, Have a Seat , and the host of Table Talk and More with Darlene , an award-winning talk show featuring dynamic conversations that inspire and educate.
Her upcoming appearance on ZondraTV's You Make A Difference TV will share her remarkable journey and vision to an audience of over 350 million potential viewers across seven streaming platforms.
"My mission is simple," Lyons says. "Create opportunity, spark change, and empower people to thrive."
