Introducing LoopedIn Councils – Formerly Impact Apps.

Murrindindi Shire Council

As the first official council to launch on the new LoopedIn Councils app, Murrindindi is leading the way in digital waste communication.

With the rollout of FOGO and glass bin services mandated across Victoria, the council needed to reach households fast and efficiently. 

And it worked.

In just one week, nearly 1 in 5 households downloaded the app and more than 22% of residents viewed the new 12-month collection calendar.

“We’ve had very good uptake on our app. In seven days, we had 1,400 downloads and 1,800 unique visits to the 12-month calendar. Not bad given we have a rate base of 8,000.

Vee Scott, Project Officer Kerbside Reform

Communicating major service changes, at scale

The rollout of FOGO and glass bin services was a major shift for Murrindindi residents—and for the internal council team managing the change.

From questions about bin days to understanding new recycling rules, clear communication was critical.

The council needed a scalable way to deliver real-time updates, minimise confusion, and cut down on phone enquiries.

LoopedIn Councils fully branded, customisable council app provided the perfect fit.

Designed for simplicity and strong engagement

The Murrindindi Waste App offers a complete package for modern waste communication:

Bin Collection Calendar – Personalised to each address and always up to date

Push Notifications – For last-minute service changes or urgent alerts

Printable 12-Month Calendar – Available on the council website and styled to their brand

Website Widget – Embeds essential waste info right into the council’s website for easy resident access

 “Swift. Responsive. Accurate.”

Vee Scott, Project Officer Kerbside Reform
