About this app

metroKEY is an interactive access control system, delivering end to end visibility on how the organics drop off facility is being used, with a user interface that actively encourages participation with fast sign up, easy to follow instructions, map locations of units, and clear information on what can be deposited.

metroKEY enables users to create their own metroKEY account following a standard 2-step verification and password set up using their smartphone

Once logged in to the metroKEY app, access to the unit can be granted once the one time ‘tick box’ user agreement condition has been met. This feature means that Admin intervention is not required to grant user access at the time, though within the metroKEY web portal, your admin staff are able to both grant and revoke user access as necessary.

Making recycling as easy as trash disposal demands streamlined processes that enable access to the organics unit. Once users have signed in, the metroKEY app opens the unit latch via an illustrated pop-up question banner with a simple yes/no tick box for access once the user is within Bluetooth range of the unit.

Where fill sensors are deployed smartphone app users can also see when a bin is full, allowing them to navigate to the nearest available drop-off location.

Ratings and reviews

the app keeps shutting down and in my case it can't find the bin and won't open it. I can't even "report a problem" for the specific bin bc the button doesn't work and then keeps shutting down

Why on earth would I need to set a complicated password (which I won't remember) in order to deposit food waste???? Why do they even need an email???

The code works great on the two bins in town that open with 1-2-3-4 # code. But they're always full, probably because most people like me can't get the other password bins to open. The metro-key QR doesn't work for me. I scan the QR Code, then click on the link, then it asks me for a new password and copy password, then state (Idaho) and location and organization, then I get a pop-up that it's already been submitted. Which is true. But it never opens the bin. Metrokey has very low reviews.

What’s new

- Added a new option to copy unit locations, making it quicker and easier to duplicate location details when managing units.
- Added a new "Other" category under Report Message, providing greater flexibility when reporting issues that do not fit existing categories.
- Updated the Report a Problem section by changing the wording from "Battery is Flat" to "Battery is Dead" for improved clarity and consistency.
