Get scrap to a bin (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

obtain

'get' is the definition.
(I know that get can be written as obtain)

'scrap to a bin' is the wordplay.
'scrap' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'scrapped' mean this).
'to'+'a'+'bin'='toabin'
'toabin' with letters rearranged gives 'OBTAIN'.

(Other definitions for obtain that I've seen before include "'Get, acquire (6)'" , "Take possession of" , "Gain possession of" , "Get one's hands on" , "Get, procure" .)
