Here the Blue Oyster Cult meets the Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011 (as amended), and enjoin local authorities not to fear testing whether separate collections of plastic, metal, paper and glass are technically, economically and environmentally practicable (TEEP). Don't fear the TEEPer; he or she is only there to help ensure legal compliance.

lyrics
The Waste Regs have come
TEEP tests must be done
Fibres don’t fear the TEEPer
Nor do metals, plastics or glass (we can be like they are)
Come on LA (don’t fear the TEEPer)
LA spend a few grand (don’t fear the TEEPer)
Best that money can buy (don’t fear the TEEPer)
LA I’m your man
The TEEP test is done
You can carry on
Metal cans and glass bottles
Are together in an RCV (in a rural authority)
Many thousand tonnes of mixed waste every day
(like metal cans and glass bottles)
Many thousand tonnes of mixed waste every day
(can’t define ‘practicable’)
Another many thousand coming every day
(not economically practicable)
Come on LA (don’t fear the TEEPer)
LA spend a few grand (don’t fear the TEEPer)
Best that money can buy (don’t fear the TEEPer)
LA I’m your man
