Refuse to throw away rag (5,5)

I believe the answer is:

waste paper

'refuse' is the definition.
(waste paper is rubbish or refuse)

'throw away rag' is the wordplay.
'throw away' becomes 'waste' (wasting is a kind of throwing away).
'rag' becomes 'paper' (I've seen this in other clues).
'waste'+'paper'='WASTE-PAPER'

'to' is the link.

(Another definition for waste paper that I've seen is " Refuse".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
