This could be a double definition.

'tips that' is the first definition.
'dumps' can be an answer for 'tips' (rubbish). I'm not certain of the rest of the definition.

(dumps is a kind of low spirits)

'produce' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dumps that I've seen before include "sadness" , "Ditches" , "Low spirits" , "Gets rid of" , "gloominess" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
