I believe the answer is:

unload

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

'remove stuff' is the definition.
'unload' can be an answer for 'remove' (unloading is a kind of removing). I'm not certain of the 'stuff' bit.

'middle of your land for renovation' is the wordplay.
'middle of' says to take the centre.
'for renovation' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
The centre of 'your' is 'ou'.
'ou'+'land'='ouland'
'ouland' is an anagram of 'UNLOAD'.

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for unload that I've seen before include "Take goods from (ship)" , "Get rid" , "Remove goods from (a vehicle or ship)" , "Discharge cargo" , "Remove cargo from ship or goods from lorry" .)
