millings

Leftover road fragments

Millings are the material produced by milling—grinding, cutting, or pulverizing a substance.

In road construction, millings are the ground-up asphalt removed when resurfacing pavement: They spread millings on the gravel driveway.

The term also applies to metal shavings or grain particles from industrial milling processes.
