I believe the answer is:

creepy

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

'weird' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'call about recycled urine' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'about' could be 're' ('re' means regarding or about) and 're' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for creepy that I've seen before include "Hair-raising" , "Frightening or disturbing" , "Scary, eery" , "Eerie, uncanny" , "Rather eerie" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
