dustpan

(Other definitions for dustpan that I've seen before include "Receptacle for use with hand brush" , "Stand up (anag) - short-handled shovel" , "Sweeper's receptacle" , "One's used to clean up" , "What's frequently found by a brush -- stand up (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
