Discarded item of furniture outside pub (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

binned

'discarded' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'item of furniture outside pub' is the wordplay.
'item of furniture' becomes 'bed'.
'outside' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'pub' becomes 'inn' (I've seen this before).
'bed' enclosing 'inn' is 'BINNED'.

(Another definition for binned that I've seen is " Discarded".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
