A receptacle (One holding cash, perhaps?) (6)

I believe the answer is:

'a receptacle' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'one holding cash perhaps?' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'an' (an apple is one apple).
'holding' is an insertion indicator.
'perhaps?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'perhaps' mean this).
'cash' is an anagram of 'shca'.
'an' enclosing 'shca' is 'ASHCAN'.

(Another definition for ashcan that I've seen is " Receptacle".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
