Scum; rubbish (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dross

This clue is a double definition.

'scum' is the first definition.
(I know that dross is a type of scum)

'rubbish' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for dross that I've seen before include "Waste coal - rubbish" , "It's Poor" , "Scum - dregs" , "Scum on molten metal" , "of no value" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
