Waste disposal expert hurried to take in business meeting (6)
I believe the answer is:
ragman
'waste disposal expert' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'hurried to take in business meeting' is the wordplay.
'hurried' becomes 'ran' (running is a kind of hurrying).
'to take in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'business meeting' becomes 'agm' (abbreviation for annual general meeting).
'ran' enclosing 'agm' is 'RAGMAN'.
