Resource Recovery Hubs

Access-Managed Infrastructure for Clean Material Capture

Secure, externally located hubs for communal deposit of recycling, organics and regulated materials, particularly where a standard curbside service is not considered viable.

What Problem This Solves

Open drop-off sites create:

  • High contamination
  • Poor participation
  • Unmanaged misuse
  • Regulatory and reporting risk

Controlled-access Recovery Hubs turn participation into predictable, defensible outcomes.

    Where This Is Used

    Primary solutions

  • Drop-Off & Recovery Infrastructure


  • Also used in

  • Multifamily overflow
  • Underserved and rural areas

Why This System Works

  • Secure enclosures protect materials
  • metroKEY controls who can use the site
  • Supports contamination-sensitive streams (organics, glass, DRS)
  • Options for data capture and incentivization
  • Designed for pilots and network expansion
