Bird runs over waste receptacle (5)
I believe the answer is:
robin
'bird' is the definition.
(robin is a kind of bird)
'runs over waste receptacle' is the wordplay.
'runs' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'over' becomes 'o' (cricket abbreviation).
'waste receptacle' becomes 'bin' (I've seen this before).
'r'+'o'+'bin'='ROBIN'
(Other definitions for robin that I've seen before include "Small songbird" , "Bird on many cards" , "Bird, killed by Sparrow" , "Batman's helper" , "Bird - boy's name" .)
