Refuse the stretcher (6)
I believe the answer is:
litter
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'refuse' is the first definition.
(I know that litter is a type of refuse)
'the stretcher' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for litter that I've seen before include "Carelessly-dropped rubbish" , "Offspring of a multiple birth" , "Chair or bed carrried on two poles" , "Pups - bedding - stretcher" , "Discarded rubbish" .)
