Clip from rubbish trailer? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bulldog

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'clip' is the definition.
(bulldog clip is a kind of clip)

'rubbish trailer?' is the wordplay.
'rubbish' becomes 'bull' (both can mean nonsense).
'trailer?' becomes 'dog' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'bull'+'dog'='BULLDOG'

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bulldog that I've seen before include "Sturdy British canine" , "Iconic English canine" , "Breed of canine; stationery clip" , "found at the end of a lead" , "Canine breed noted for courage" .)
