Chuck out note found in campanologist's file (4,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ring binder

'file' is the definition.

'chuck out note found in campanologist's' is the wordplay.
'chuck out' becomes 'bin'.
'note' becomes 'd' (musical note).
'found in' indicates putting letters inside.
'campanologist's' becomes 'ringer' (I've seen this before).
'bin'+'d'='bind'
'bind' inserted into 'ringer' is 'RING-BINDER'.

(Another definition for ring binder that I've seen is " Loose-leaf folder".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
