litter

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

'moving bed rubbish' is the definition.
'litter' can be an answer for 'rubbish' (litter is a kind of rubbish). I'm not sure about the 'moving bed' bit.

'to light' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'light' could be 'lit' (similar in meaning) and 'lit' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ter' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'comes' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
