Intern cleared out skip coming to us (7)
I believe the answer is:
inbound
'coming to us' is the definition.
'intern cleared out skip' is the wordplay.
'cleared out' suggests removing the centre.
'skip' becomes 'bound'.
'intern' with its middle removed is 'in'.
'in'+'bound'='INBOUND'
(Other definitions for inbound that I've seen before include "Returning home" , "Travelling towards (eg, airport)" , "Describing the return journey" , "Travelling towards a place" .)
