Reprobate left single beer tin for recycling (9)
I believe the answer is:
libertine
'reprobate' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'left single beer tin for recycling' is the wordplay.
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation**).
'single' becomes 'i' (one).
'for recycling' indicates anagramming the letters.
'beer'+'tin'='beertin'
'beertin' is an anagram of 'bertine'.
'l'+'i'+'bertine'='LIBERTINE'
(Other definitions for libertine that I've seen before include "reprobate" , "Rou" , "Rake" , "Rakish" , "Sensually indulgent person" .)
