'home refuse to go in this' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'brood born at' is the wordplay.
'brood' becomes 'litter' (I've seen this before).
'born' becomes 'b' (abbreviation next to the year of someone's birth).
'at' becomes 'in' (synonymous in some cases - eg at school, in school).
'litter'+'b'+'in'='LITTER-BIN'
