Stand up, somehow, ground level collector (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dustpan

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

'ground level collector' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

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

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dustpan that I've seen before include "part of housemaid's kit" , "It's often used with brush" , "Short-handled cleaning receptacle" , "Receptacle for sweepings" , "Domestic dirt collector" .)
