dustpan

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'small shovel' is the definition.
'dustpan' can be an answer for 'shovel' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'small' bit.

'stand up awkwardly' is the wordplay.
'awkwardly' indicates an anagram.
'stand'+'up'='standup'
'standup' anagrammed gives 'DUSTPAN'.

'producing' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dustpan that I've seen before include "waste collector" , "Stand up (anag) - receptacle for collecting particles" , "domestic utensil" , "It's often used with brush" , "Cleaning aid" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
