Alley pickup (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spare

'alley pickup' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for spare that I've seen before include "Pardon; unneeded" , "Thin; elegantly simple" , "Thin; left over" , "Surplus to requirements" , "Excess to requirements" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and the Newsday.
