Convert I trusted remains of no value (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

detritus

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'remains of no value' is the definition.
'detritus' can be an answer for 'remains' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'of no value' bit.

'convert i trusted' is the wordplay.
'convert' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'i'+'trusted'='itrusted'
'itrusted' anagrammed gives 'DETRITUS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for detritus that I've seen before include "Rubbish - it rusted (anag)" , "Debris, rubble" , "Accumulated debris" , "Any kind of debris" , "waste material" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
