Green bin put out for novice (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beginner

'for novice' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'green bin put out' is the wordplay.
'put out' indicates an anagram.
'green'+'bin'='greenbin'
'greenbin' anagrammed gives 'BEGINNER'.

(Other definitions for beginner that I've seen before include "inexperienced person" , "Tyro, novice" , "Fresher" , "Tyro, rookie" , "One just starting out" .)
