Lug around empty garbage getting impatient (5)
I believe the answer is:
eager
'impatient' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'lug around empty garbage' is the wordplay.
'lug' becomes 'ear' (informal term).
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'empty' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters).
'garbage' with its centre removed is 'ge'.
'ear' going around 'ge' is 'EAGER'.
'getting' is the link.
(Other definitions for eager that I've seen before include "willing" , "Keen, avid" , "Impatient" , "Enthusiastic, avid" , "Agree (anag.)" .)
