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.

The game of golf is growing faster than ever. Communities historically kept away are now all the way out finding fairways. Pindr matches solo golfers with compatible playing partners — so finding a round feels like calling a friend, not rolling the dice. Starting in Washington, DC, Charlotte, and DC with more cities to come. Golf is more fun with the right people. But if you're new to the game, new to the city, or just don't have a regular crew, your options shrink fast: play alone, take whoever the starter pairs you with, or skip the round entirely. Pindr is built to fix that. THREE WAYS TO MATCH • Discover. Swipe through other golfers in your area. See their handicap, home course, vibe, and the personality stuff that actually shapes a round. Tap into a full profile to dig deeper before you decide. • Open Rounds. Post a tee time you're trying to fill, or join a round someone else posted. No more waiting on a group text that never coalesces. • QR Code. Played a great round with someone you just met? Pull up your code, let them scan it, and you're connected for next time. No fumbling for numbers, no "I'll text you" that never happens. A PROFILE THAT FEELS LIKE YOU Beyond handicap and home course, Pindr profiles include optional culture-fit questions: music or no music on the course, walk or ride, your dream round, what you're working on. The stuff that determines whether four hours together flies by or drags. FOR EVERYONE WHO LOVES THE GAME Pindr is built with extra care for the players who too often get left out of golf's traditional channels — newcomers to the game, women, players from communities that haven't always felt welcome at the first tee, and anyone who relocated and lost their crew. If you've ever stood next to your bag wondering whether there's a place for you here, this is for you. WHAT'S NEXT We're starting in DC, Charlotte, and LA, then growing one city at a time, with real local players — not synthetic profiles. Want Pindr in your city next? Tell us through the app. Find your four. Tee it up. Never alone again.
