Place bits of banjo in trash (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

joint

'place' is the definition.
(I know that joint is a type of place)

'bits of banjo in trash' is the wordplay.
'bits of' indicates a hidden word.
'JOINT' is hidden within 'banjo in trash'.

(Other definitions for joint that I've seen before include "Together - location" , "Bone junction" , "Eg, elbow or ankle" , "Shared, held in common" , "American bar" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
