Piece of linen in street I've recycled (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

serviette

'piece of linen' is the definition.

'street i've recycled' is the wordplay.
'recycled' is an anagram indicator.
'street'+'ive'='streetive'
'streetive' with letters rearranged gives 'SERVIETTE'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for serviette that I've seen before include "* [MATERIAL]" , "Table napkin" , "Personal protection" , "Consumer protection" , "This may give you some protection" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
