Deny it's junk (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

refuse

I believe this is a double definition.

'deny' is the first definition.
('refuse' can be a synonym of 'deny')

'junk' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'it's' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for refuse that I've seen before include "Say no to - rubbish" , "Decline, repudiate" , "Turn down; waste" , "litter" , "Turn away" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
