Light charge for rubbish disposal (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

landfill

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'rubbish disposal' is the definition.
'landfill' can be an answer for 'rubbish'. I am unsure of the 'disposal' bit.

'light charge' is the wordplay.
'light' becomes 'land' (light can mean to settle or land).
'charge' becomes 'fill' (I've seen this in other clues).
'land'+'fill'='LANDFILL'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for landfill that I've seen before include "Buried waste material" , "refuse to go there!" , "Disposal of waste by burying" , "Method of waste disposal" , "Low area where waste is buried" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
