Modern recycling centre (6)
I believe the answer is:
recent
'modern' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'recycling centre' is the wordplay.
'recycling' is an anagram indicator.
'centre' with letters rearranged gives 'RECENT'.
(Other definitions for recent that I've seen before include "Contemporary" , "Just previous" , "Not long ago, a little while back" , "In the near past, not long ago" , "Shortly before the present" .)
