Section on rubbish dump, raised place for deodorant? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

armpit

'place for deodorant?' is the definition.

'section on rubbish dump raised' is the wordplay.
'section' becomes 'arm' (as in a branch of an organisation).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'rubbish dump' becomes 'tip'.
'raised' says the letters should be written backwards.
'tip' backwards is 'pit'.
'arm'+'pit'='ARMPIT'

(Other definitions for armpit that I've seen before include "part of the body" , "Hairy hollow" , "evident given "hands up"!" , "(In anato my) the axilla" , "(In anatomy) the axilla" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
