Cast stand up for rubbish collector (7)
I believe the answer is:
dustpan
'rubbish collector' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'cast stand up' is the wordplay.
'cast' indicates an anagram (letters are dispersed or cast around).
'stand'+'up'='standup'
'standup' is an anagram of 'DUSTPAN'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dustpan that I've seen before include "Rubbish, one gathers" , "Brushed dirt collector" , "It's often used with brush" , "What's frequently found by a brush -- stand up (anag)" , "Stand up (anag) - receptacle for collecting particles" .)
