Refuse place: leave house (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bingo

'house' is the definition.
(both are used to announce you have won in bingo)

'refuse place leave' is the wordplay.
'refuse place' becomes 'bin' (where rubbish or refuse goes).
'leave' becomes 'go' (to go is to depart or leave).
'bin'+'go'='BINGO'

(Other definitions for bingo that I've seen before include "Game in which "two little ducks" might be called" , "Lotto" , "Number game" , "game requiring little ability" , "Housey-housey" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
