Container for a bit of bread at home (3)
I believe the answer is:
bin
'container' is the definition.
(bin is a type of container)
'bit of bread at home' is the wordplay.
'bit of' says to take the initial letters.
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'home' becomes 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in').
The first letter of 'bread' is 'b'.
'b'+'in'='BIN'
'for a' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for bin that I've seen before include "Domestic receptacle for rubbish" , "Common receptacle for household waste" , "Container, for bread or rubbish say" , "Graves seen here" , "Ordinary household receptacle for rubbish" .)
