LoopedIn Councils App & eVouchers

The Livingstone Waste Wise App is transitioning to the LoopedIn Councils App, with the look and functionality remaining largely the same for users.

The main change is behind the scenes, where two existing systems have been merged into a single more streamlined database to improve accuracy and reliability. 

The new LoopedIn Councils App improves how waste services are managed behind the scenes by combining multiple systems into one. This helps ensure:

• More accurate information
• Fewer discrepancies
• A better overall user experience for residents 

The LoopedIn Councils App offers:

• A single, streamlined system for waste services
• Improved accuracy of bin collection day information
• Integrated access to waste voucher details
• A more reliable and efficient service overall 

No, your bin collection day will remain the same. The new app simply provides a more accurate and reliable way to access this information. 

Previously, bin collection data and waste voucher information were managed across separate systems. The new app combines these into one central database, which:

• Reduces duplication
• Minimises errors
• Ensures consistency across services

No. There is no cost to residents or ratepayers for downloading or using the new LoopedIn Councils App.

The app continues to be delivered by the same developer, with the transition and backend improvements implemented at no additional cost to Council or the community.

We understand that some ratepayers don't have direct access to an electronic device to download the LoopedIn Councils App or to a home computer or printer.

Ratepayers have these options:

1. Head to the LSC Website and print out your own eWaste Vouchers; or
2. Visit our Customer Support Centres (Yeppoon or Emu Park) and we will help you; or
3. Call our friendly Customer Support team and will organise and post to you.

Download your eVouchers from the LoopedIn Councils App (available to download via the App Store/Google Play) using your Assessment Number and Property Address as printed on your General Rates Notice.

If you are a Landlord, please pass on the eVouchers to your tenants. This will assist them to keep your property clean and tidy.

Waste eVouchers are only issued to property owners. You will need to contact the Property Owner or Real
Estate Agent and request them to send/email a screenshot of the eVouchers through to you.

What if I am unable to contact my landlord? Under the Privacy Act, Council is only able to provide eVouchers to the Property Owner.

eVouchers are valid for the disposal of self-hauled general domestic waste and uncontaminated green waste at all Livingstone Shire Council Waste Facilities. (Byfield and Stanage Bay Transfer Stations do not accept green waste)
Commerical customers cannot use eVouchers and relevant charges apply, as per Council’s Fees and Charges.

Under Council’s Waste Voucher Procedure, adopted on 19 April 2022, only eligible ratepayers with habitable dwellings on their properties will be issued with the eVoucher entitlement.

When arriving at an LSC Waste Facility, show the attendant your eVoucher to be scanned. The attendant will assess your load and advise of the eVouchers required:

• 1 eVoucher - sedan, station wagon, green waste load
• 2 eVouchers - trailer, ute, flat-top, van
• 3 eVouchers - large trailers, small trailer or ute fitted with load enhancers/extended sides

This is a guide only and the attendant’s decision is final.

eVouchers cannot be used for the disposal of tyres,mattresses, asbestos, solar panels, refrigerators, air conditioners, regulated waste or commercial waste. These items will continue to incur a cost for disposal as per Council’s Fees and Charges.

All property owners can download the eVouchers onto their individual devices, however, each eVoucher can only be used once.

Council allocates ten (10) eVouchers per household each financial year. Your next allocation of eVouchers can be downloaded from 1 July onwards. If you run out of allocated eVouchers, all loads going forward will need to be paid for.

You can contact Council to lodge a Customer Request. A Waste Services team member will calculate the number of eVouchers available for the remainder of the year on a pro rata basis and advise you how to navigate the next steps via the App. You may need to provide proof of ownership.

You can download ten (10) eVouchers for each property that you own, using the unique assessment number and property address located on your General Rates Notice for each property.

You can check your eVoucher usage history via the LoopedIn Councils App, using your unique Assessment Number and Property Address.

Recyclables must be separated from your load and disposed of for free at the Landfill or Transfer Station prior to using eVouchers. This helps to reduce recyclable materials being sent to the Landfill unnecessarily, and also wasting your eVouchers!

eVouchers cannot be redeemed or traded as a form of payment for other Council services.
