Rubbish in Hayes we recycled (7)

Ross

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

7

3-4

eyewash

'rubbish' is the definition.
(both can mean nonsense)

'hayes we recycled' is the wordplay.
'recycled' indicates an anagram.
'hayes'+'we'='hayeswe'
'hayeswe' anagrammed gives 'EYEWASH'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for eyewash that I've seen before include "Rhubarb" , "this is soothing sight" , "Optic lotion - nonsense!" , "Visual cleansing agent - nonsense" , "Bunk" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
