Spiritual range, undergoing change of direction? Rubbish (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sewage

'rubbish' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both substances as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'spiritual range undergoing change of direction?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'change' could be 'wag' (wag is a kind of change) and 'wag' is located in the answer.
'direction?' could be 'se' (SE is an example) and 'se' is found within the answer.
A single letter 'e' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

(Other definitions for sewage that I've seen before include "Effluence" , "Drainage waste" , "Waste matter carried away in drains" , "Waste water, etc" , "Refuse carried off through drainage system" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
