Rubbish found in South American station (6)
I believe the answer is:
status
'station' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'rubbish found in south american' is the wordplay.
'rubbish' becomes 'tat' (I've seen this before).
'found in' is an insertion indicator.
'south american' becomes 'sus' (I've seen this in other clues).
'tat' placed into 'sus' is 'STATUS'.
(Other definitions for status that I've seen before include "Social or professional standing" , "High social standing" , "Facebook feature" , "Position eg in society" , "High rank or prestige" .)
