'what might produce litter' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'southern town centre?' is the wordplay.
'southern' becomes 's' (abbreviation).
'town centre?' becomes 'ow' (central letters of the word 'town').
's'+'ow'='SOW'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sow that I've seen before include "Female badger" , "Prepare farmland" , "She lives in 11" , "Broadcast" , "swine" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
