Leave carbon recycling to tip (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overbalance

'tip' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'leave carbon recycling' is the wordplay.
'recycling' is an anagram indicator.
'leave'+'carbon'='leavecarbon'
'leavecarbon' with letters rearranged gives 'OVERBALANCE'.

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for overbalance that I've seen before include "Topple" , ""take a tumble."" , "Come a cropper" , "Capsize" , "Fall down" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
