Item worth getting recycled, it's common sense (6,3)
I believe the answer is:
mother wit
'it's common sense' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'item worth getting recycled' is the wordplay.
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'recycled' is an anagram indicator.
'item'+'worth'='itemworth'
'itemworth' is an anagram of 'MOTHER-WIT'.
(Other definitions for mother wit that I've seen before include "Natural intelligence" , "common sense" , "Native intelligence" .)
