Each of 12 Across answers discards one letter before entry in the grid; these pieces of trash are tossed (i.e. anagrammed) into an appropriate container at 20 Across. One entry in each column drops a letter straight down into the shaded "dump" at the bottom of the grid; these 12 letters form a self-descriptive phrase. Six clue answers are capitalized.

The instructions above are for this month's puzzle only. See a complete introduction to clue-solving.
