Party where rubbish bags left (6)

I believe the answer is:

hooley

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

'party' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'rubbish bags left' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'left' could be 'l' (common abbreviation) and 'l' is found within the answer.
'rubbish' could be 'hooey' (I've seen this before) and 'hooey' is found in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'where' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for hooley that I've seen is " Irish party".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
