A bread company, might initially be in garbage (8)

I believe the answer is:

buncombe

'garbage' is the definition.
(I know that buncombe is a type of garbage)

'a bread company might initially be' is the wordplay.
'a bread' becomes 'bun' (bun is a kind of bread).
'company' becomes 'co' (abbreviation).
'initially' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'might' is 'm'.
'bun'+'co'+'m'+'be'='BUNCOMBE'

'in' acts as a link.

(Another definition for buncombe that I've seen is " rubbish".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
