This clue might be a double definition.

'depressing places' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both locations as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'rubbish?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dumps that I've seen before include "melancholic state" , "One can be down in them" , "Tips, discards" , "sadness" , "Gets rid of" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
