Pile of rubbish (9)

I believe the answer is:

scrapheap

(Other definitions for scrapheap that I've seen before include "metal tip" , "Place for useless or redundant people or things" , "Cap phrase about mound of waste material" , "Discard pile" , "Where unwanted items end up" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Mirror.
